Ryder Jones News
San Francisco Giants 1B Ryder Jones (knee) was able to take batting practice in camp on Friday for the first time since undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated left patella while swinging last September. It's possible he is held out of some Cactus League spring games early on, but all indications are that he should be up to speed by early March which will give him a shot at being ready for Opening Day. At this point he is considered a long shot to break camp with the big club, so avoid him for fantasy purposes until further notice.
San Francisco Giants first baseman Ryder Jones (knee), who will have surgery to fix his patella on Wednesday, will also have a cleanup procedure to fix tendinitis in the same knee. He expects to hit off a tee and take ground balls by Christmas after his knee was bugging him all season. Jones was going to get extended playing time down the stretch to close out the year, so his injury was bad timing. Expect Jones to compete for a roster spot next spring.
San Francisco Giants first baseman Ryder Jones (knee) will have surgery in a couple of days to fix his dislocated left knee. Jones is a promising prospect for the Giants, so it was a shame for him to go down and lose a chance at regular at-bats down the stretch. He had hit two homers in just eight at-bats in the big leagues this year after hitting .274/.328/.417 with 11 homers and 59 RBI in 116 games with Triple-A Sacramento. Jones will compete for a roster spot in spring training next year.
