Nolan Jones's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

After being scratched from Friday's lineup with lower-back tightness, Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones (back) remains out of action on Saturday against the hosting New York Mets. Sam Hilliard will make another start in left field and will bat ninth for Colorado against Mets rookie right-hander Christian Scott. Fantasy managers are starting to lose patience with Jones, who is hitting just .202/.311/.313 with a .623 OPS, three homers, 14 RBI and three stolen bases in 163 at-bats after he had a 20/20 campaign in 2023 in his first full year in the big leagues. With just one game remaining before next week's All-Star break, don't be surprised if Jones doesn't return to action on Sunday. Hilliard hit two home runs in a game earlier this week but otherwise has gone 5-for-21 (.238) after making his 2024 debut on June 22.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones has been scratched from the team's starting lineup on Friday against the hosting New York Mets for undisclosed reasons. We'll provide an update on why Jones was scratched when we know more. With the 26-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder now out, Sam Hillard will play left field and bat ninth for the Rockies against Mets left-hander Sean Manaea. An injury caused Jones to miss considerable time this year, but when he's been healthy, he's been a shell of what he showed last year, hitting .202/.311/.313 with a weak .623 OPS, only three home runs, 14 RBI and three stolen bases in 163 at-bats. Fantasy managers shouldn't completely give up on him yet, but he's going to need to get it going here soon. Both of Hilliard's two homers this year came in the same game earlier this week, and he's gone 4-for-18 (.222) otherwise.

Colorado Rockies outfielders Nolan Jones and Jake Cave will take a seat on the bench on Monday with the club facing a left-hander against the hosting Cincinnati Reds. Hunter Goodman is getting the start in left field for the Rockies and will bat eighth in the order against Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott. Jones has been a massive disappointment for fantasy managers in 2024 after he nearly hit .300 with 20 homers and 20 steals in 106 games in his first full big-league season in 2023. As of right now, he's slashing just .187/.291/.303 with three homers, 14 RBI and three steals in 46 games. The 26-year-old lefty slugger missed considerable time due to injury and has gone 13-for-61 (.213) with two homers, two doubles, seven RBI, one steal and 25 strikeouts in 20 games since returning from the injured list on June 14.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones (illness) is back in the team's starting lineup on Friday against the visiting Washington Nationals and rookie left-hander DJ Herz, playing left field and batting sixth in the order. Fantasy managers will now have Jones back after he missed the last two games due to an illness. The 26-year-old left-handed hitter broke out with a 20-20 campaign in 2023 in his first year in Colorado, but this year couldn't have started any worse for Jones. Not only has he missed significant time due to injury, but he hasn't swung the bat well at all when he's been on the field. Jones is currently hitting .194 (21-for-108) with a homer, five doubles, nine RBI, three steals and 39 strikeouts in 126 plate appearances. On the bright side for Friday's matchup is the fact that Jones has looked slightly better against lefties this year.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones (illness) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday for the series finale against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. Jones was scratched from the lineup on Wednesday while being under the weather and apparently he is still not feeling good enough to play a day later. Sean Bouchard will make another start in left field and will bat second against Dodgers right-hander Gavin Stone. Bouchard went 1-for-4 with a double, RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's victory. He'll be a deep DFS sleeper in the two-hole and is hitting just .205 (16-for-78) on the year with a homer, seven RBI and four steals. Jones teased his upside in 2023 with a 20-20 campaign but has so far been either hurt or ineffective at the plate for the Rockies and fantasy managers this year.
