Jones went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base for Single-A Visalia on Thursday.
Jones broke a tie in the top of the ninth inning when he clocked his first professional home run to the deepest part of the ballpark in left-center field. After the second overall draft pick in 2022 had his debut season wiped out due to a shoulder injury, Jones has endured right quad and hamstring issues this season, limiting him to 10 games before he rejoined Visalia earlier this month. He went 0-for-9 in the first three games back, but Jones has hit safely in three straight since, going 5-for-12 with two extra-base hits, two walks and two steals.
