• Diamondbacks' Druw Jones: Things clicking at High-A

  07/16/2025 • By RotoWire

  Jones is hitting .357 with three home runs, two steals and a 12.9 percent strikeout rate over his last 14 games for High-A Hillsboro. Jones is slashing .248/.317/.338 with three home runs and 14 steals this season, and all three of his home runs have come in July. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft, Jones has really struggled to get the ball in the air, with his 52.4 percent groundball rate this year representing his lowest mark since 2023 in the Arizona Complex League. However, he's currently in his most productive stretch as a pro, so it's possible he's turning a corner midway through his age-21 season.

  The Diamondbacks plan to have Jones begin the 2025 season at High-A Hillsboro, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. Jones played a full season at Single-A Visalia in 2024 after injuries limited him the previous two years. The 2022 second-overall pick had issues early in the season but finished strong with a line of .275/.409/.405 along with six home runs, 65 RBI and 21 steals over 109 games.

• Diamondbacks' Druw Jones: Rehabbing in rookie ball

  08/08/2023 • By RotoWire

  Jones (hamstring) has gone 3-for-12 with 1:4 BB:K in four games since beginning a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Aug. 1. Jones opened the season at Single-A Visalia but hasn't seen any action in the California League since April 19 after sustaining a right quadriceps strain. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the ACL in mid-June, only to be pulled off the assignment after four games when he strained his right hamstring. The 19-year-old is now in the midst of his second rehab assignment in the Complex League and has seemingly avoided any setbacks thus far while making his last three starts in center field. He could be activated from Visalia's 60-day injured list later this week or at some point next week.

• Diamondbacks' Druw Jones: Goes to 60-day IL

  07/27/2023 • By RotoWire

  Single-A Visalia transferred Jones (hamstring) from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday. Jones hasn't played for Visalia since April 19 due to a quadriceps strain but was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 13. However, he lasted just four games in the ACL before succumbing to a right hamstring strain and being pulled off the assignment. The Diamondbacks have yet to announce a timeline for Jones, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft, to return to action.

• Diamondbacks' Druw Jones: Return timeline pushed back

  06/26/2023 • By RotoWire

  Jones (quadriceps) isn't expected to return to game action until at least the middle of July after suffering a right hamstring strain while running the bases last week in a rehab game with the Diamondbacks' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. Jones had been on Single-A Visalia's 7-day injured list since April 22 with a right quadriceps strain, and while he didn't aggravate that particular issue while rehabbing in the ACL, the hamstring strain may be a compensation-related injury. In any case, Jones looks like he'll be out of commission at least through the All-Star break, marking the third major setback he's suffered on the health front during his young professional career. In addition to the quad and hamstring injuries, Jones tore the labrum in his left shoulder last July, just three days after he inked a contract that included an $8.19 million signing bonus.
