Rays' Greg Jones: Optioned to minors camp

Jones was optioned to minor-league camp by the Rays on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jones was the Rays' first-round pick in 2018, and he was shielded from the Rule 5 draft over the winter. The speedy shortstop is now getting a look in the outfield and could be a bench option if he has success at the higher levels of the minors in 2023. However, it's tough to see a path to regular playing time at this stage.
