Jacque Jones has been told that he will not make the Minnesota Twins' opening day roster.

Jones hit .344 this spring with two home runs and three doubles. But manager Ron Gardenhire told him on Saturday that there wasn't enough room for the veteran outfielder on a loaded Twins roster.

Jones will finish out spring training with the team and travel to Minnesota to play in an exhibition game against the St. Louis Cardinals. After that, he will report to Triple-A Rochester.

After playing in the independent Atlantic League in 2009, Jones signed a minor league deal with the Twins in February. He spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Twins before leaving in 2006 for the Cubs. He also played for Detroit and Florida in 2008.
