Elbow concerns cloud the immediate outlook for the hard-throwing righty
Jones is currently dealing with a right elbow injury sustained on June 21, leaving his status for the fourth-place Pirates uncertain heading into the weekend. While initial imaging was negative, he remains questionable after a rocky stretch where he posted a 7.71 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over his last two starts. Currently slotted as a back-end starter in the rotation, his ability to provide length is in question following a June 21 outing where he managed only three innings.
Despite a bloated 5.82 ERA over the last 30 days, our models still view Jones as a high-upside asset with a projected 4.05 ERA and nearly 1.23 WHIP for the remainder of the season. His strikeout stuff remains elite, evidenced by 140 projected strikeouts over 89 innings and recent radar gun readings hitting 101 MPH. The current struggles appear to be more health-related than a loss of skill, suggesting he will return to his role as a reliable mid-rotation starter once his arm is 100%.
Jones is tentatively scheduled to start Saturday at home against the Reds, but his status is truly day-to-day. If he does take the mound, he faces a daunting matchup against Chase Burns, who enters with a dominant 2.00 ERA and a 9-1 record. Given the extreme risk of a shortened outing or a late scratch due to his elbow sensitivity, fantasy managers should look for a safer alternative until he proves his durability. Verdict: Sit.
