The Rockies traded Nolan Jones to the Guardians in exchange for Tyler Freeman.

Fantasy Impact

Jones exploded onto the scene as a rookie two seasons ago with Colorado, but he struggled over 78 games last year. He'll likely be in a platoon role with Cleveland who drafted him back in 2016.

Nolan Jones went 2-for-4 with two RBI in the Rockies' 11-4 defeat to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's struggles, Jones managed to contribute a pair of singles, driving in two runs. This performance, albeit in a losing effort, could offer a slight positive note for fantasy managers in leagues where RBI and hits are valued. However, his season-long batting average of .221 and high strikeout rate continue to limit his appeal in most fantasy formats. Given these metrics, Jones remains a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a situational pick against favorable pitching matchups. His ability to occasionally drive in runs does not offset the overall drag his batting average and strikeouts could have on fantasy rosters.
