Could miss significant time
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Thursday that Jones (oblique) will be "out a while," MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Jones is eligible to return Oct. 1, which means he could be available for the postseason should Cleveland qualify, but Vogt's comments imply a longer timeframe. Jones was removed from a game Sept. 19 after feeling pain in his side while swinging.

Out with oblique strain
The Guardians placed Jones on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right oblique strain.
Analysis
With only nine days remaining, Jones' move to the IL will cause him to miss the rest of the regular season. He'll finish the 2025 campaign with a .211/.296/.304 batting line alongside five homers, 34 RBI, 34 runs scored and eight steals across 403 plate appearances. Petey Halpin was promoted from Triple-A Columbus to replenish Cleveland's outfield depth.
