Tigers' Jahmai Jones: MiLB deal from Detroit
The Tigers signed Jones to a minor-league contract Sunday that includes an invitation to spring training, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Jones, 27, has slashed just .198/.257/.278 over parts of four seasons at the big-league level. He does have a career .821 OPS at the Triple-A level and offers defensive versatility with the ability to play second base, third base and all three outfield spots.

Yankees' Jahmai Jones: Outrighted to Triple-A
Jones cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the Yankees on Friday.
The 26-year-old was designated for assignment by New York on Monday but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Jones spent the first four months of the season on the Yankees' active roster, but he totaled just 47 plate appearances in 33 games and had a .685 OPS and 34 percent strikeout rate.

Yankees' Jahmai Jones: Removed from 40-man roster
The Yankees designated Jones for assignment Monday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Jones is the roster casualty upon Giancarlo Stanton's (hamstring) return from the 10-day injured list. The 26-year-old had posted a .685 OPS across 47 plate appearances with the Yankees this season.

Yankees' Jahmai Jones: Leading off Tuesday
Jones will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Mets.
It's just the 10th start all season for Jones and the first time he's batted higher than fifth. Left-hander Jose Quintana is starting for the Mets and Jones is 7-for-20 against southpaws this season.

Yankees' Jahmai Jones: Records three hits in another start
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
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 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
Jones has appeared in just nine games for the 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
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that 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.

Yankees' Jahmai Jones: Claimed by Yankees
The Yankees claimed Jones off waivers from the Brewers on Wednesday.
The Yanks deem Jones a better fit for their roster than Jordan Groshans, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Jones has a career .460 OPS in 90 plate appearances across parts of three major-league seasons.

Brewers' Jahmai Jones: Exits 40-man roster
The Brewers designated Jones for assignment Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Milwaukee needed to clear a spot on its 40-man roster after announcing the re-signing of Brandon Woodruff, and Jones ended up being the casualty. Jones, 26, has a career .460 OPS in 90 plate appearances across parts of three major-league seasons. His versatility could make him appealing to some clubs once he hits waivers.

Brewers' Jahmai Jones: Optioned to Nashville
The Brewers optioned Jones to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
With the acquisition of Carlos Santana from Pittsburgh, Jones will be forced off the Brewers' active roster to create space for the veteran first baseman. After a hot start to his career as a Brewer with a three-run double in his debut, Jones cooled off and is just 2-for-10 at the plate this season.

Brewers' Jahmai Jones: Getting start at DH
Jones is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth in Monday's contest versus the Reds.
The right-handed hitting Jones is getting the call at DH over the left-handed hitting Jesse Winker against Reds righty Graham Ashcraft, who has fared better versus lefties this season. It's only Jones' second start in eight games since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville.

Brewers' Jahmai Jones: Rejoins big-league team
The Brewers recalled Jones from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
After being sent down earlier in the week, Jones will return with Brian Anderson (back) landing on the 10-day injured list. While Jones put together a respectable .292/.427/.542 line in 62 games with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate earlier this season, he's not starting Sunday, and the Brewers don't seem inclined to give him a serious look as a regular.

Brewers' Jahmai Jones: Sent down to Triple-A
Jones was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Jones fared well during his week with the big club, but he wasn't playing much and will now return to the minors. The Brewers will announce a corresponding move prior to the start of the second half.

Brewers' Jahmai Jones: Catches on with Milwaukee
Jones signed a major-league contract with the Brewers and was added to the 26-man active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Cubs.
Before he opted out of his minor-league deal with the Dodgers over the weekend, the 25-year-old infielder has spent the entirety of the 2023 season at Triple-A Oklahoma City and put together a .292/.427/.542 slash line over 263 plate appearances. Jones will now get the opportunity to return to the big leagues with the Brewers, who are in need of added infield depth in the short term after Brian Anderson was placed on the paternity list Monday. Jones could end up serving as a short-side platoon player while he's up with the big club.

Jahmai Jones: Opts out of deal
Jones opted out of his contract and was released by the Dodgers on Saturday, Alex Freedman of the Oklahoma City Dodgers reports.
Jones has been solid in Triple-A this season, slashing .292/.427/.542 with nine homers and 34 RBI through 263 plate appearances. He should have no problem finding another organization willing to take him in and could even reach the majors if his performance holds up.

Dodgers' Jahmai Jones: Reassigned to MiLB camp
Jones was reassigned Monday to minor-league camp by the Dodgers.
Jones was trying to win a spot on the Dodgers' bench this spring, but a .067/.125/.067 slash in 16 Cactus League plate appearances doomed him to the minors. The former Angels and Orioles prospect will all but assuredly open the 2023 season with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Dodgers' Jahmai Jones: Back in action for spring training
Jones (elbow) has appeared in five of the Dodgers' Cactus League games to date, going 0-for-8 with a walk and a run scored.
Jones has seen reps at second base in all five of his appearances, so he looks to have made a full recovery from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in late May of last season. The 25-year-old was once a prospect of some repute when he was coming up through the Angels' system, but injuries and poor performance during his time in the majors in 2021 and at the Triple-A level prompted the Orioles to release him last June. Jones joined the Dodgers on a minor-league pact last August and will likely open the upcoming campaign at Triple-A Oklahoma City.
