Shipped to Boston The Red Sox acquired Jones from the Tigers on Tuesday in exchange for a player to be named later, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 29-year-old was designated for assignment by Detroit last week and will now make his way to Boston. Jones has excelled against lefties throughout his big-league career but has yet to get on track in 2026. Jones has a .440 OPS in 105 overall plate appearances and has a .154/.250/.256 slash line in 88 plate appearances versus southpaws. A short-side platoon role is a best-case scenario for the veteran outfielder.

Designated for assignment The Tigers designated Jones for assignment Thursday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones has slashed just .137/.219/.221 across 105 plate appearances with the Tigers this season, so he'll now lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters to make room for Eduardo Valencia. His defensive versatility could make him more valuable to clubs browsing the waiver wire, though he isn't likely to make much of an impact with his bat in the big leagues.

Not starting against lefty Jones is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Though he's on the Tigers' roster primarily as a specialist against left-handed pitching, Jones will be on the bench Wednesday for a matchup with Yankees southpaw Ryan Weathers. Jones has failed to live up to his billing as a lefty masher thus far in 2026, slashing .162/.253/.270 with a 28.9 percent strikeout rate over 83 plate appearances. The 28-year-old is likely on a tight leash and could soon be in danger of being designated for assignment.

Hits first 2026 home run Jones went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Jones connected for his first long ball of the season in the fifth inning against tough Boston lefty Garrett Crochet. It wasn't surprising to see Jones get the call against a southpaw, as he posted a .970 OPS in those matchups during the 2025 regular season. The outfielder is worth a look in DFS formats when he's in the lineup, but his limited role caps his value in standard fantasy leagues.
