Not too long ago, there had been hypothesis that the New York Yankees must ship Spencer Jones to Triple-A (so as to activate Cody Bellinger).
Nonetheless, an damage to Ryan McMahon opened up a spot on the roster the place Jones was in a position to keep within the MLB (with Bellinger again within the combine).
The Yankees wrote (through X) on August 21: “• Positioned INF Ryan McMahon on the 10-day injured record (retroactive to eight/20) with a left thumb sprain.”
Kay Makes Jones Assertion
GettySpencer Jones #78 of the New York Yankees in motion throughout the recreation towards the Seattle Mariners at Yankee Stadium on August 12, 2026 within the Bronx borough of New York Metropolis.
In a current episode of The Michael Kay Present, Kay spoke about Jones.
Kay: “Folks requested me, ‘What transfer do you suppose the Yankees are going to make?’ And I stated, ‘They’re going to ship down Spencer Jones.’ I didn’t say they need to. I didn’t say I would like them to. I stated that that’s the prudent transfer since you may convey him up in seven days when the rosters increase to twenty-eight. You solely lose him for seven days. For those who don’t ship down Jones, then you would need to launch Amed Rosario. And so they weren’t going to do this… Now that grew to become a moot level when McMahon went on the IL. So McMahon went on the IL. They known as up Max Schuemann. So then the automated transfer for when Bellinger got here off the IL, which was yesterday, was to ship Max Schuemann down.”
Kay additionally added his ideas on Jones.
Kay: “I believe Spencer Jones, to start with, is a pleasant child. He’s a weapon when it comes to his pace on the bases. He has performed a greater proper discipline than I assumed that he was going to. He’s acquired a very good arm and he’s put some good at-bats on the market. Now, his strikeouts nonetheless concern me. 64 strikeouts in 159 at-bats is an terrible lot. It’s about 35%. Now, if you happen to’re going to strike out 35% of the time, you bought to be a 45-home-run man. It’s a must to be. Now he has seven. So possibly he can be a 45-home-run man.”
