Smacks game-winning homer Jones went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in the Tigers' 6-4 win over the Reds on Saturday.

Impact He played the hero, connecting for the go-ahead, two-run homer off Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning. Per Jason Beck of MLB.com, manager Ron Gardenhire called for the sacrifice bunt twice in that at-bat, with Jones fouling off both attempts. With two strikes, Jones swung away and decided the contest. Jones has hit ninth in the Tigers' first two games.

Returns to game action Jones (oblique) will start in center field and bat leadoff in Monday's intrasquad game.

Impact Jones has been managing some left oblique tightness for the last few days, but his re-entry into the lineup for the Tigers' 10th and final intrasquad game suggests he'll be ready to go for the team's season opener Friday in Cincinnati. Though Jones is atop the lineup Monday, he could find himself in the bottom third of the order more often than not during the regular season.

Feels good in workout Detroit manager Ron Gardenhire said Jones (oblique) felt good after throwing and taking batting practice Sunday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact This is a good sign for Jones being ready by Opening Day, but it would be nice to see the outfielder get some exhibition work first. The Tigers have scrimmages scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday against the Reds, so if Jones is truly healthy, expect him to play in at least one of those games before the regular season gets underway Friday.

Participates in outfield drills Jones (oblique) participated in outfield drills Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact This is encouraging news as Jones works toward getting right in time for Friday's opener in Cincinnati. If he is not ready, Victor Reyes would likely start in center field with Christin Stewart potentially starting in left field.

Exits with knee soreness Thursday Hill left Detroit's intrasquad game Thursday with left knee soreness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Hill has been having an impressive camp and has taken advantage of increased playing time while Travis Demeritte and JaCoby Jones have been injured. The 24-year-old will continue to push toward making his major-league debut in 2020, but he needs to avoid any extended time off in order to earn that opportunity.

Managing oblique injury Jones was scratched from Wednesday's instrasquad lineup due to left oblique tightness, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 28-year-old was scheduled to start in center field but instead was a late removal from the lineup. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Jones' status for the season opener is now up in the air with just over a week until Opening Day.

Pops homer in intrasquad debut Jones hit a home run in an intrasquad game Wednesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones has hit 11 home runs in each of the last two seasons, while providing 20 total steals in that time and good defense in center. Plate discipline has been his issue, as he's struck out 30 percent of the time or more in three of his four MLB seasons, and he's yet to bat above .235. Manager Ron Gardenhire sounded optimistic, however, about the 28-year-old taking a step forward in 2020. "His swing is really nice and short," Gardenhire said. "I think if he can stay healthy here - he plays really hard and dives around - he's an impact player for us." Jones is likely to begin the year as the everyday center fielder, but prospects Daz Cameron and Derek Hill are in the 60-man player pool if the team decides to go in a different direction at some point.
