Yankees' Spencer Jones: Added to 40-man roster
The New York Yankees selected Spencer Jones' contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.Jones totaled 35 home runs and 29 steals with a .933 OPS between Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Somerset last year, though that was accompanied by a 35.3 percent strikeout rate. The 24-year-old is one of the organization's top prospects and could make his MLB debut in 2026, but he may have a difficult time cracking the lineup depending on how the Yankees' offseason unfolds.

Yankees' Spencer Jones: In position to help Yankees in 2026
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that Spencer Jones is "in the conversation" to be an everyday major-leaguer next season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.Jones slashed .274/.362/.571 with 35 home runs and 29 stolen bases between Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2025. However, he also had a 35.4 percent strikeout rate, and he finished with a .663 OPS over the final two months. With his power and speed, the fantasy upside with Jones is huge, but it's unlikely the Yankees will hand him a starting job right away next season, given his swing-and-miss concerns.

Yankees' Spencer Jones: Rejoins Triple-A lineup
Spencer Jones (back) started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 7-3 loss to Nashville on Tuesday.Jones was out of action for four days due to back spasms but didn't miss a beat in his return to the lineup, contributing his 19th extra-base hit in 20 games with the Triple-A club. With a 1.399 OPS since receiving a promotion to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre from Double-A Somerset on June 27, Jones is making a compelling case for a big-league call-up, but the New York Yankees don't have an obvious spot for him in their crowded outfield, even while Aaron Judge (elbow) is on the injured list.

Yankees' Spencer Jones: Belts three homers in Triple-A game
Spencer Jones went 3-for-5 with three home runs and four RBI for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.Jones mashed homers in the first, third and fifth innings to continue a recent power surge. He's gone deep 10 times in his past 12 contests and has posted an absurd 1.407 OPS with 13 home runs, 25 RBI and six stolen bases over 19 contests since being promoted to Triple-A on June 27. Jones has also struck out 24 times during that span, but that's an improvement over the 33.7 percent K rate he posted in Double-A prior to his promotion. If Jones keeps mashing, he could get his first taste of the big leagues before the end of the campaign, though he could also draw interest in trade talks leading up to the deadline.

Yankees' Spencer Jones: Goes yard in Triple-A debut
Spencer Jones went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 4-2 win over Worcester on Friday.Jones was promoted to Triple-A before Friday's contest, and it didn't take long for him to make an impact, as he smacked a solo homer to center field in his first plate appearance. He did strike out in two of his other plate appearances, and that is an area the 24-year-old prospect will need to work on as he shifts his focus toward a promotion to the majors.
