JaCoby Jones: Let go by Royals
JaCoby Jones was released by Kansas City on Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.Jones joined the Royals on a minor-league deal in December but struggled to a .214/.270/.357 slash line in 38 games with Triple-A Omaha. The 30-year-old had a .460 OPS in 36 contests for the Tigers last year and doesn't appear close to a return to the majors.

Royals' JaCoby Jones: Gets minor-league deal with Royals
JaCoby Jones signed a minor-league contract with the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.The 29-year-old outfielder hit .243/.316/.451 from 2019 through 2020 with the Tigers, but he hit just .170/.210/.250 in 36 games last season. It's possible Jones could join the big-league roster at some point this season if he performs well at Triple-A.

Tigers' JaCoby Jones: Remains in organization
JaCoby Jones cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.Jones began the year with a fairly regular role but was optioned to Toledo in late May after hitting .170/.210/.250 with a 40.0 percent strikeout rate through his first 105 plate appearances. He was designated for assignment Sunday, and it's no surprise to see him pass through waivers unclaimed, as a 29-year-old with a career 71 wRC+ at the highest level isn't particularly appealing.

Tigers' JaCoby Jones: Reaches base three times
JaCoby Jones went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and one run scored Thursday against the Royals.Jones drew a start with southpaw Daniel Lynch on the mound, which shifted Nomar Mazara to the bench. Jones performed well but is still hitting just .173/.212/.272 for the season. More importantly, he'll be without consistent playing time as Detroit's standard starting outfield is Mazara, Robbie Grossman and Akil Baddoo.

Tigers' JaCoby Jones: Sits in second straight
JaCoby Jones is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.Jones looks like he could be the odd man out of the Detroit outfield in most games following Nomar Mazara's return from the 10-day injured list Saturday. He'll be on the bench for a second straight day while manager A.J. Hinch rolls out an outfield of Mazara, Robbie Grossman and Akil Baddoo. The righty-hitting Jones should at least play regularly against left-handed pitching while one of Mazara or Baddoo likely sits out on those occasions.

Tigers' JaCoby Jones: Drives in two, steals base in win
JaCoby Jones went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two RBI in Wednesday's 6-5, extra-inning win over the Red Sox.It's good to see a little life from Jones, as the center fielder came into the contest batting .148 for the season with 26 strikeouts in just 61 at-bats. It was also his first stolen base of the year, which makes sense considering he's struggled to consistently reach base. Jones did record double figures in home runs and steals back in 2018, so the power-speed potential is there, but he simply needs to make more regular contact if he wants to be a reliable fantasy contributor.

Tigers' JaCoby Jones: Heads to bench
JaCoby Jones is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.Jones had started each of the last four games in center field, but he benefited in some part from the Detroit Tigers facing off against two left-handed pitchers during that stretch. The Tigers are still seemingly viewing Jones as a short-side platoon player, with Robbie Grossman, Akil Baddoo and Victor Reyes representing the team's primary outfielders against right-handed pitchers until Nomar Mazara (abdomen) is ready to return from the injured list.
