Spencer Jones has been the subject of many trade rumors this season, so this next week stretch (five games) could be a big determinant of Jones’ status with the Yankees going forward.
However, with that being said, manager Aaron Boone has shown a willingness to keep plugging Jones into the batting order, with Wednesday being no different.
Over his first 80 at-bats, Jones’ bWAR is 0.0, and he’s batting .213 with six runs scored, 8 RBI, 2 HR, and an OPS+ of 82.
He’s had to pick up some slack in the Yankees outfield with Aaron Judge still injured.
