2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones' 2024 season was a massive step backward from his 20-20 rookie campaign. He landed on the injured list in late April due to a low-back strain and his rehab was halted due to right knee soreness, which pushed his return back to June. The lower back forced a second IL stint in July. It's rather difficult to imagine that particular issue didn't play a part in Jones going homerless in his final 30 games down the stretch. The fact that he had a .931 OPS as recently as 2023 should be enough to keep Jones on your radar, and his home ballpark being the most hitter-friendly park in MLB helps his case in a major way. The injury question marks are prevalent after what was essentially a lost season and a strikeout rate of 30 percent must also factor into the equation. Read Past Outlooks

Could miss significant time
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Thursday that Jones (oblique) will be "out a while," MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Jones is eligible to return Oct. 1, which means he could be available for the postseason should Cleveland qualify, but Vogt's comments imply a longer time frame. Jones was removed from a game Sept. 19 after feeling pain in his side while swinging.

Stat Review
How does Nolan Jones compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2017
It was another miserable year for the Rockies in 2023 with an NL-worst 59 wins, but Jones excelled after being acquired from the Guardians during the offseason. He missed Colorado's Opening Day roster but was called up for his season debut in late May, and he hit the ground running with a .942 OPS in his first 28 games. Jones put up similar numbers the rest of the way and finished his rookie campaign with a .297/.389/.542 slash line, 20 homers, 20 steals, 62 RBI and 60 runs in 106 contests. Encouragingly, the Coors Field effect didn't appear to have much of an impact on him, as he posted a .928 OPS at home compared to a .935 OPS on the road. However, his .404 BABIP isn't sustainable, which combined with a 29.7 percent strikeout rate is a strong indication of overperformance (that is also backed up by an xBA of .247 and xSLG of .492. Even taking that into account, it was an excellent season for Jones, who will open 2024 as an everyday starter in the Rockies outfield and should provide strong fantasy production even if he's unable to fully replicate last season's numbers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Spot in majors secure?
Jones could have a more secure spot on Colorado's big-league roster after Kris Bryant was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a bruised heel.
Analysis
Jones started in right field Thursday against Arizona and has started all but one game since being promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque last week. C.J. Cron's back injury prompted Jones' call-up, and Bryant's injury should provide another layer of protection to the youngster's place with the big club. Jones had a .681 OPS in his first taste of the majors last year, but he's gone 5-for-18 with two doubles, a homer and three RBI during his first week with Colorado this season.
