Fantasy Impact:

Jones’ sore elbow, imaged and pending a second opinion per Wednesday’s update from Tomczyk, likely lands him on the Pirates’ IL, with surgery a looming worry despite cautious optimism. More clarity soon. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him cautiously, hoping for a minor issue, but bracing for a longer absence if Pittsburgh’s young righty needs significant recovery time in 2025.
