Overview

• On June 27 the Yankees promoted 24-year-old outfielder Spencer Jones from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
• MLB.com ranks Jones as New York’s second-best prospect after the 2022 first-round pick slashed .274/.389/.594 with 16 home runs and 10 stolen bases in 49 games.
• Since returning from a three-week intercostal injury in May he has hit .325 with a 1.049 OPS, seven homers and 16 RBIs.
• His strikeout rate has improved to roughly 30.5 percent post-injury, though it remains a focal point for his continued development.
• The promotion opened a 40-man roster spot by moving fellow outfielder Everson Pereira to the temporary inactive list.
