Jones (elbow) is leading off and starting in center field Friday against the Indians, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Jones went 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Twins. Jones had a huge offensive day from the No. 9 spot in the lineup. He hit a three-run blast off Minnesota starter Kyle Gibson in the second inning and then hit a two-run shot off Matt Magill in the eighth inning. Jones is up to eight home runs and 20 RBI this season, and he's bumped his average up to a respectable .250. The 27-year-old has struggled to make consistent contact during his career, but he does offer a decent combination of power and speed, as he also has six stolen bases this season.
