Picking up first start since Aug. 8
Jones (hip) will serve as the Red Sox's designated hitter and leadoff batter in Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analyse
Jones will re-enter the lineup for the first time since Aug. 8. Though he's typically been a regular part of the starting nine against left-handed pitching, Jones has seen limited playing time over the past two weeks while the Red Sox have faced a right-handed-heavy pitching schedule. Jones also missed out on starting against a lefty in Monday's win over the Diamondbacks while he dealt with hip tightness, but he cleared up any concern about his health by making a cameo off the bench two days later.

Enters game as pinch hitter
Jones (hip) entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter and finished as the designated hitter. He walked in his lone plate appearance in a 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.
Analyse
Jones, who battled left hip tightness the previous two days, pinch hit for Mickey Gasper against a left-hander in the eighth inning. The former has been remarkably productive in a part-time role since joining Boston, going 11-for-23 with four doubles, two home runs, six RBI, three steals and eight runs scored over 15 contests.

Day-to-day with hip injury
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that Jones was scratched from the lineup ahead of Monday's 11-1 win over the Diamondbacks due to left hip tightness, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Analyse
Jones had been penciled in as the Red Sox's designated hitter and leadoff hitter for the series opener, but he was removed from the lineup since his hip was preventing him from turning his swing "fully loose," according to Tracy. The skipper downplayed any major concern about the injury, and the Red Sox are expecting Jones to be available the next time they face a left-handed starting pitcher.

Scratched from lineup
Jones was scratched from Monday's lineup in Baltimore, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Jones is presumably dealing with some sort of injury, but the Red Sox have yet to provide details. Mickey Gasper will enter the lineup at designated hitter, and Nick Sogard will move up to the leadoff spot.
