Makes immediate contribution
Jones started in left field and went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Rays.
Analyse
Jones made his first start since being acquired from the Tigers and took Ian Seymour deep in the second inning to wipe out an early Tampa Bay lead. That was his lone plate appearance, as Jarren Duran pinch hit for him in the fourth inning, when the Rays replaced Seymour with right-hander Kevin Kelly. Jones has a career .478 OPS against righties, but a .757 mark against southpaws.

Making first start for Boston
Jones is in the starting lineup for the first time in his tenure with Boston against Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Analyse
After being traded by Detroit to Boston on Wednesday, Jones will start for the first time with his new team Saturday. With Detroit, the 28-year-old slashed .137/.219/.221 with two homers and seven RBI in 105 plate appearances. Jones will bat eighth and play left field against Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Shipped to Boston
The Red Sox acquired Jones from the Tigers on Tuesday in exchange for a player to be named later, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
The 29-year-old was designated for assignment by Detroit last week and will now make his way to Boston. Jones has excelled against lefties throughout his big-league career but has yet to get on track in 2026. Jones has a .440 OPS in 105 overall plate appearances and has a .154/.250/.256 slash line in 88 plate appearances versus southpaws. A short-side platoon role is a best-case scenario for the veteran outfielder.
