The Yankees called up outfield prospect Spencer Jones from Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes-Barre after their latest victory. The promotion occurred as the team deals with multiple injuries to position players. Jones suffered a head and shoulder injury while making a catch on the first play of the Yankees' most recent game, a 9-2 win.
That opened a roster spot that the team filled with the promotion of Jones, who had been at the Triple-A affiliate for an extended period. The outfielder turns 25 next week.
The team has performed well in recent games despite playing shorthanded. Ben Rice, Giancarlo Stanton and José Caballero remain out of the lineup. Rice and Caballero are expected to return soon. The Yankees defeated Texas 9-2 in the game during which the injury occurred.
The team has continued to win consistently in recent weeks.
