Yankees' Jahmai Jones: Records three hits in another start
Jahmai Jones went 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI in Friday's 16-5 victory versus the Blue Jays.Jones was plugged into the No. 9 spot in the order while serving as the team's designated hitter in his third start over New York's past four games. The 26-year-old responded with his first multi-hit game of the campaign -- in fact, his three knocks Friday equaled the amount of hits he had collected over his previous 18 plate appearances coming into the contest. Jones has been used mostly as a pinch runner and defensive replacement this season, though he could continue to see more opportunities in the short term while Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) remains on the injured list.

Yankees' Jahmai Jones: Swats first big-league homer
Jahmai Jones went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk against the Rays in Sunday's 10-6 victory.Jones enjoyed a career milestone when he belted a solo shot in the third inning for his first major-league home run. It was a rare opportunity for him to make an impact -- though Jones has stuck on the New York Yankees' roster throughout the campaign, Sunday marked just his second start, and he's seen only 10 plate appearances overall. Jones has gone 2-for-8 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch in his limited turns at the dish.

Yankees' Jahmai Jones: Getting limited opportunities
Jahmai Jones has appeared in just nine games for the New York Yankees this season, going 1-for-6 with one run and four strikeouts.Jones has remained on the big-league roster throughout the campaign, but he's made just one start, functioning almost exclusively as a pinch runner or defensive replacement. The 26-year-old's speed and defensive versatility make him useful in those roles, though his ability to remain with the big club may be more strongly tied to the fact that he's out of minor-league options. It's difficult to envision Jones becoming a viable fantasy asset given his very limited work and his career .178/.229/.451 slash line as a major-leaguer.

Yankees' Jahmai Jones: In running for roster spot
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Jahmai Jones is in the mix for an Opening Day roster spot, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.New York claimed Jones off waivers from Milwaukee in late February, and he put together a respectable .286/.429/.500 slash line with a home run, four RBI, a stolen base and a 7:8 BB:K over 14 games this spring. The 26-year-old has compiled a paltry .179/.233/.226 slash line with no homers and two thefts over 90 major-league regular-season plate appearances across three seasons, with his biggest chunk of playing time coming with Baltimore in 2021. Jones is out of minor-league options, so he'd be subjected to waivers if the Yankees don't include him on the Opening Day roster. If he does break camp with the club, he'd be a bench option capable of playing both the outfield and infield, and he could help make up for DJ LeMahieu opening the season on the injured list due to a foot injury.
