Jones went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Twins. The outfielder tagged Lance Lynn in the seventh inning and cleared the left field fence with a runner on base to put the Tigers ahead for good. Jones looks to have the lead for time in left field and has remained relevant in deeper mixed leagues thanks to his five stolen bases. His .222/.267/.389 slash line doesn't suggest he'll offer much other than middling power and speed, though at 26 years old, he could reach another level over time with a more consistent role.

Jones is out of the starting lineup versus the Twins on Wednesday, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports. Jones will retreat to the bench after starting the past three games, going 1-for-4 with one RBI during Tuesday's outing. Victor Reyes will get the nod in left field in his absence.
