| News: Jones is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers. | Impact: Right-handed hitters have fared much better than their counterparts against Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo this season, so manager Clint Hurdle will play the percentages, and go with a right-heavy lineup Wednesday. Gaby Sanchez will get the start at first base.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Jones will bat fourth and play first base Tuesday against the Brewers. | Impact: Even though Milwaukee started the right-handed throwing Marco Estrada on Monday, Jones sat out due to a lifetime 3-for-19 mark against Estrada. He's a career .240 hitter in 25 at-bats against Tuesday starter, Kyle Lohse. He has two doubles and a dinger among his six hits.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Jones is out of the Pirates' lineup Monday against the Brewers. | Impact: Jones is sitting for the second time in three games, but with the Brewers trotting out right-hander Marco Estrada on Monday, it's unusual to see Jones sidelined, as he normally only misses games against lefties. In his stead, Gaby Sanchez will man first base and bat cleanup.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Jones hit a three-run homer - a call that was correctly overturned by baseball's beleaguered umpires - and a pair of doubles in a 7-3 victory over the New York Mets on Friday night. | Impact: With runners at the corners in the fifth, Jones hit a drive to right off Shaun Marcum (0-3) that barely cleared a leaping Marlon Byrd. The ball caromed back onto the field off the bottom of a black retaining wall just above the fence and was initially ruled in play. The umps went inside to look at the play and correctly signaled a home run. Jones, batting .301, was 4 for 21 (.190) with a two-run homer in his first seven games this month.(STATS, 2:29pm) |

| News: Jones is out of the Pirates' lineup Saturday at the Mets, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. | Impact: With left-hander Jonathon Niese taking the hill for the Mets, Jones will step aside as Gaby Sanchez mans first base and bats cleanup. Jones himself boasts a four-game hitting streak, raising his line to a robust .301/.348/.534.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Jones raised his batting average to .301 on Friday, going 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run and three RBI. | Impact: He's totaled 20 RBI already despite not playing against lefties. With that in mind, the Mets are starting southpaw Jonathon Niese on Saturday, making it unlikely Jones will find his name in the starting lineup. He holds a career batting average of .198 in 474 at-bats against left-handed pitching.(RotoWire, ) |
