• Guardians' Nolan Jones: Agrees to deal

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones (oblique) agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Guardians on Friday to avoid arbitration, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Jones' season regular-season ended a few days early due to an oblique injury, an issue that also sidelined him for the postseason. He spent the entire 2025 season in the majors and accrued 403 plate appearances, though he managed only a .600 OPS with five homers and eight stolen bases.

  Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Thursday that Jones (oblique) will be "out a while," MLB.com reports.

• Guardians' Nolan Jones: Out with oblique strain

  09/20/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Guardians placed Jones on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right oblique strain. With only nine days remaining, Jones' move to the IL will cause him to miss the rest of the regular season. He'll finish the 2025 campaign with a .211/.296/.304 batting line alongside five homers, 34 RBI, 34 runs scored and eight steals across 403 plate appearances. Petey Halpin was promoted from Triple-A Columbus to replenish Cleveland's outfield depth.

• Guardians' Nolan Jones: Drawing fourth straight start

  08/31/2025 • By RotoWire

  Jones will start in center field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Mariners. Jones will remain in the starting nine for the fourth game in a row after going 5-for-11 with a pair of solo home runs, one double and one stolen base over the previous three contests. Though the Guardians appear to be prioritizing Jones ahead of Angel Martinez for the final spot in their outfield against right-handed pitching, Jones is still sitting on an unremarkable .632 OPS for the season and will be at risk of losing playing time if Lane Thomas (foot) makes it back in September.
