Spencer Jones Fantasy Stats

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that outfield prospect Spencer Jones is "currently blocked" from playing time at the big-league level, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. A former first-round pick by the Yankees in 2022, Jones will turn 25 years old in May. He posted monster numbers split between Double and Triple-A in 2025, hitting .274/.362/.571 with 35 home runs, 80 RBI, 102 runs scored, and 29 stolen bases across 506 plate appearances. However, swing-and-miss remains a major concern in Jones' profile, as he logged a 35.4% strikeout rate. The Yankees currently have established veterans Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham, and Aaron Judge penciled in as their starting outfielders, while Giancarlo Stanton is locked in as the designated hitter. Even if one of those four players were to suffer an injury, fellow Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez may be ahead of Jones in the outfield pecking order. Barring a trade or multiple outfield injuries in New York, it appears as though Jones will begin the 2026 season in the Minors.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones will have a much tougher task to crack the Opening Day roster during spring training, following the signing of Cody Bellinger. Before Bellinger was slated to return to the Bronx, Jones was expected to be considered for a role in left field, competing alongside switch-hitter Jasson Dominguez. However, with Bellinger now back in the mix, the outfield seems quite crowded for the time being. Last summer, Jones opened the season with Double-A but needed just 49 games to prove he was ready to make the jump to the top level in the Yankee system. Through his first 67 games at Triple-A, Jones blasted 19 home runs with a .274/.342/.555 slash line. Even though he is unlikely to break camp with the Yankees, he could become a top stash option and would be the first name called following an injury.

New York Yankees outfielders Jasson Dominguez or Spencer Jones could be shopped in trade offers after the Yankees locked up Cody Bellinger for the next five seasons. The Yankees have Aaron Judge and Trent Grisham to fill their everyday outfield spots, while Giancarlo Stanton will likely be the everyday DH. Dominguez and Jones each have long-term offensive potential but could benefit from regular playing time, which will be hard to come by for the Yankees. Dominguez is the more likely of the two young bats to be moved since he isn't considered a long-term option in center field, while Jones could slide into that spot if Grisham leaves after this season as a free agent. Dominguez is a highly regarded offensive prospect who hit .257 with 10 homers and 23 stolen bases to go with a .316 wOBA in 123 games. The Yankees would likely be looking for starting pitching in return, and it seems likely that they make some moves to relieve the logjam before the start of the season.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones was in contention to make his MLB debut last season and should be in serious contention to earn the call to the Bronx in the first half of 2026. In 2025, Jones flashed immense power upside across the upper levels of the minor leagues but carried a high strikeout rate. Through 116 total contests (split between Double-A and Triple-A), Jones launched 35 home runs with a .274/.362/.571 line adn a .933 OPS. However, Jones struck out at a hefty 35.4% clip. Across his 67 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Jones saw his strikeout rate increase slightly to 36.6% and his OPS fall to .897. With the Yankees re-signing Cody Bellinger, Jones will likely not break camp with the team and instead return to Triple-A. However, Jones would likely be the first name called as soon as they need additional outfield depth. He is worth closely monitoring in deeper fiver-outifelder leagues as he would be worth a waiver claim once promoted, given his immense power upside.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones has put himself "in the conversation" to be an everyday big-leaguer in 2026, according to general manager Brian Cashman. Jones is definitely on the rise and has an exciting blend of power and speed for fantasy managers, but it might be hard for the Yankees to fit the 24-year-old left-handed slugger in their big-league lineup regularly, barring injuries. Jones is listed as the No. 99 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline. Standing at a hulking 6-foot-7, 240 pounds, he's a hulking physical specimen with elite power/speed upside. He hit .274/.362/.571 with 35 home runs and 29 stolen bases in 2025 with Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, which was great, but it also came with a strikeout rate of 35.4%. The swing and miss in his game is concerning and could be exposed even more in the majors, but it's not often this kind of power/speed upside comes along.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones has hit a brief skid at Triple-A. Over his last eight games, Jones has only gone deep once and held a modest .228/.226/.452 slash line with a hefty 14:0 K:BB. Throughout his last 28 games, Jones has seen similar struggles, holding a low .196/.261/.336 line with just three long balls and four doubles. However, before this slump, the No. 4-ranked prospect in the Yankee system flashed immense power upside. In his first 19 games at Triple-A, Jones posted an impressive .400/.457/.950 line with five doubles, 13 home runs, and six stolen bases. Earlier in the season, Jones held a .983 OPS across 49 games with Double-A. If Jones can break this slump, he could be in the mix to join the Yankees late in the regular season.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday. Jones got the scoring started in the game with a 443-foot blast off starter Alek Manoag in the top of the first inning. It was the lefty slugger's second home run of August after he belted 11 in July. Overall, it hasn't been a kind stretch for Jones, as he is slashing .159/.250/.261 with a 7:26 BB:K ratio in 69 at-bats. Predictably, Jones has fared much worse against same-handed pitchers this year, with a .719 OPS against lefties compared to a 1.058 OPS against righties. Jones has still been incredible at Triple-A this season despite the glaring hit tool concerns, and it wouldn't be too surprising if he were given a shot in the majors before the season ends.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones has been in a bit of a slump at the plate but has still made an impact at Triple-A. Over his last four contests, the budding star has stolen at least one base in each game. During this four-game stretch, Jones has gone just 2-for-12 at the dish with no extra-base hits. However, prior to this minor skid, Jones was flashing immense power at the top level of the minor leagues. Through his first 16 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Jones held an impressive .426/.481/.941 slash line with five doubles and 10 long balls. Earlier this season, Jones spent the first half with Double-A Somerset and launched 16 long balls across a 49-game stint. Even though Aaron Judge is back in action, Jones remains a top hitting prospect to stash as he would carry immense power upside when given the call to the Bronx.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in his second game returning from a back spasms injury that held him out for a game. He appears to be just fine after going 2-for-4 with a double on Tuesday and swiping two bases tonight. The 6'7" lefty hitter has been crushing the ball in July, hitting .419/.477/.946 with 11 homers, seven steals, and a 9:20 BB:K ratio in 74 at-bats. The whiffs have still been at an untenable rate for the season, with a whopping 17.7 percent swinging strike rate and 66.8 percent contact rate. The power upside is undeniable, but there are still plenty of concerns with the hit tool. With how dominant he's been, however, there is a chance we see him in the majors at some point this season.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones is currently not a candidate to replace the injured Aaron Judge (elbow) on the team's roster, Andy Martino of SNY reports. Judge will miss at least the next 10 days with a right flexor strain, which could have cleared a path for Jones. The 24-year-old is dealing with back spasms, though, and that's the main reason why he's not on his way to the majors. At 6-7, 240 pounds, Jones is a hulking slugger who has drawn comparisons to Judge. He has been on a Judge-like tear in the minors this season between Double-A and Triple-A, where he has combined to slash .314/.411/.706 with 29 homers, 57 RBI, 69 runs scored, and 16 stolen bases in 302 plate appearances. Thanks to his otherworldly production this year, the Yankees have deemed Jones borderline untouchable in trades as the July 31 deadline nears, according to Martino.
