Spencer Jones: Everything you need to know

Jones went 3-for-3 with an RBI double during Friday's 5-3 loss to Boston. Jones was recalled ahead of Friday's game and started in right field due to the absence of Aaron Judge (ribs). Jones reached base safely in all three of his plate appearances, with his double in the fourth inning bringing Jazz Chisholm home. With Judge sidelined, Jones should see regular playing time in the outfield against right-handers until either Giancarlo Stanton (calf) or Jasson Dominguez (shoudler) is back from the injured list.

The Yankees recalled Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. Jones takes the 26-man roster spot vacated by Aaron Judge (ribs) after he was placed on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Jones got his first taste of the big leagues last month but slashed .167/.259/.167 with zero extra-base hits, two RBI, one stolen base and a 3:12 BB:K across 27 trips to the plate before being sent back down. He'll need to cut down on that 44.4 percent strikeout rate in a big way, but Jones should see regular at-bats against right-handed pitching at least until Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf) are back from the injured list.

The Yankees will recall Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday to take the roster spot of the injured Aaron Judge (ribs), Jack Curry of YES Network reports. Jones will likely head back to the minors once Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) or Giancarlo Stanton (calf) return, but he should receive at least a week or so of regular playing time with the big club. The young outfielder struggled in his first stint in the majors earlier this year, going 4-for-24 with no home runs and a 3:12 BB:K.
