46 Garrett Jones, 1B

Pirates first baseman Garrett Jones is off to a strong start this year.

Jones has been platooned with Gaby Sanchez throughout the year, but Jones has the benefit of facing right-handed pitchers. Jones has always been a significantly better hitter against righties. Over his career, he's hit .281/.348/.501 in 1,511 at-bats. In virtually the same role, he hit .274/.317/.516, with 27 home runs last season.

Given his slightly reduced role, and the abundance of talent at first, Jones' Fantasy value is limited in mixed leagues. But he makes a solid injury fill-in if he's facing right-handers.

Pirates outfielder Garrett Jones had another productive game at the plate Friday against the Mets. Jones collected three hits in the 7-3 win, including belting his fifth home run of the year.

Jones finished 3 for 5 in the victory and is hitting .333 with two home runs and five RBI over his last six games (21 at-bats).

Pirates first baseman Garrett Jones hit his fourth home run in Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners. He took reliever Carter Capps deep for a two-run shot in the eighth inning. Jones finished 1 for 4 in the 4-1 win.
