Yankees Predicted to Make Drastic Move on Spencer Jones Amid Struggles
The New York Yankees could demote struggling Spencer Jones when some of their star players are ready to return from injury. The post Yankees Predicted to Make Drastic Move on Spencer Jones Amid Struggles appeared first on HEAVY.
The New York Yankees are anticipated to make a significant roster adjustment concerning infielder Spencer Jones, amid the team's struggles on offense. The absence of key players Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton has exacerbated the situation, with Jones emblematic of the team's inability to generate hits and runs, according to SI.com reporter Michael Rosenstein.
Jones' batting average stands at an abysmal .221, and his recent form has been dismal, going o-for-11 in his last three games. The timing of Judge and Stanton's returns remains unclear, but Rosenstein believes the Yankees could demote Jones to their Triple-A affiliate once the star duo is ready to return. Rosenstein emphasized that this move wouldn't be a severe blow to Jones' development, as the team will have an open outfield spot in 2027 due to Trent Grisham's free agency.
Even if Jones begins his 2026 season at a lower level, he is still expected to be given another opportunity to prove his long-term potential with the Yankees.
