New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones went 2-for-3 with a home run, double, and two walks in a 9-8 win over Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Jones was promoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on June 27 and has torn the cover off the ball. He already has three homers in four games and also chipped in a stolen base. A cause for concern would be that he has already struck out seven times in 19 plate appearances. The 24-year-old performed well previously at Double-A Somerset, hitting .274/.389/.594 with 16 homers and 10 stolen bases in 208 plate appearances. Jones saw a similar issue, though, as he struck out 33.7 percent of the time in Double-A, which is very concerning. The 6'7" outfielder has a tantalizing skillset, but the hit tool may hold him back. Given his flaws and the strength of the Yankees' outfield, it seems unlikely that Jones makes it to the majors this season.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones went 1-for-5 with a home run during his Triple-A debut. Jones wasted little at the top level of the minor leagues as he launched his 17th long ball of the season during his first game. Jones is considered the No. 2-ranked prospect in the Yankee system on MLB.com. The former 25th overall pick took significant strides at Double-A this season, which earned him the promotion. Through 49 games with Somerset, Jones held a solid .274/.389/.594 slash line with eight doubles and 16 round-trippers. Last season with Double-A, Jones posted a much lower .259/.336/.452 liner across 122 games. Fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor his production at Triple-A, as he could push for a late-season promotion to the major leagues.

The New York Yankees are promoting outfield prospect Spencer Jones to Triple-A. Jones has spent the entire 2024 campaign and the first half of 2025 with Double-A Somerset. After posting a modest .259/.336/.452 slash line last summer, Jones has taken a significant step forward this season, which earned him the promotion. Through 49 games this season, Jones has posted an impressive .274/.389/.594 slash line with eight doubles, 16 home runs, and 10 stolen bases. Across 122 games last season, Jones hit just 17 round-trippers. The 24-year-old is currently considered the No. 2-ranked prospect in the Yankee system on MLB.com. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his progression in Triple-A, as he could open the door for a late-season MLB debut if he continues to showcase his high power upside.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones went 1-for-4 with his 16th home run of the season during their contest against Double-A Erie on Wednesday evening. Jones was recently named Eastern League Player of the Week and has continued to remain hot in the batter's box. Since June 1 (20 games), Jones has posted a strong .315/.398/.658 slash line with four doubles, seven home runs, and three stolen bases. After holding a modest .259/.336/.452 line across 122 games with Double-A Somerset during the 2024 campaign, the No. 2-ranked prospect in the system has begun to turn the corner in 2025. Through 48 total games this season, Jones has posted a .271/.389/.600 line. The 24-year-old could contend for a second-half promotion to Triple-A.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones was named Eastern League Player of the Week for his performance last week at Double-A Somerset. The Yankees' second-ranked prospect went 10-for-21 (.476) with a double, three home runs, eight RBI, six runs scored, two steals, and a 7:6 BB:K over six games for the Patriots. The surge helped push his season-long slash line to .272/.395/.599 with 15 home runs and 10 stolen bases over 46 games. The 33.3 percent strikeout rate is a concern, however, the power and a phenomenal 16.4 percent walk rate help offset it. It's even an improvement over the 36.8 percent strikeout rate from 2024, and now with 185 games at Double-A under his belt, a jump to Triple-A should be on the horizon. If the 6-foot-7 slugger can show progress in regards to the K% over the remainder of the season, a late-season MLB debut could even be in the cards.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones went 4-for-5 with a double, home run, two RBI, and a stolen base during their contest against Double-A New Hampshire on Friday evening. Jones has enjoyed an impressive power surge over the past two weeks. During his last nine competitions, Jones has launched four long balls and added two doubles. Through 44 games with Double-A Somerset, the No. 2-ranked prospect has held a .261/.386/.588 slash line with eight doubles, 14 round-trippers, and 10 stolen bases. However, Jones has struck out 63 times and has drawn just 30 walks. Last summer, Jones held a lower .259/.336/.452 line across 122 games with Double-A. Given his steady progress, especially from a power perspective, Jones should be in the mix to reach Triple-A in the second half.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones went 3-for-4 with a double and a home run during the first game of their doubleheader against Double-A Portland on Wednesday. In the second game of the doubleheader, Jones was quiet as he went 0-for-3 with a run and a walk. Over his last 11 contests, Jones has enjoyed a power surge, posting a .500 SLG and .810 OPS with four doubles and two home runs. Last summer, the No. 2-ranked prospect in the New York system spent the entire season with Double-A but struggled as he held a .259/.336/.452 line with 17 home runs and a 200:54 K:BB. However, this season, Jones has begun to take the next step, posting a .231/.355/.538 line with seven doubles, 11 home runs, and a 56:24 K:BB. The 24-year-old should be in the mix to reach Triple-A later this season.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones hit his ninth home run of the Double-A regular season on Friday during their contest against Richmond. Jones went 1-for-4 at the plate with two walks and two punchouts. This outing also extended his current hitting streak to five games. During this stretch, he has gone deep twice and held a 9:6 K:BB. After an underwhelming season at Double-A last summer, the No. 3-ranked prospect in the Yankee system appears to be taking the next step in his development. Through the first 25 games of the 2025 campaign, Jones has held a .236/.382/.573 slash line, which is a strong improvement compared to the .259/.336/.452 line he held across 122 games at Double-A last summer. If Jones continues to hit for power, he could earn the call to Triple-A.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones went 3-for-5 with two round-trippers during their contest against Double-A Altoona on Thursday. This was Jones' second multi-home run contest over his previous four games. During this recent power surge, the No. 3-ranked prospect in the Bronx has held a .333/.368/1.000 line with seven RBI and two stolen bases. The 23-year-old spent the entire 2024 campaign with Double-A Somerset and struggled at times. Across 122 games, Jones posted a .259/.336/.452 line with 30 doubles and 17 home runs. However, through the first 12 games of the 2025 campaign, Jones is showing significant progress at Double-A as he has held a .273/.385/.636 line. If he continues to hit for power, he should get the call to Triple-A in the coming weeks.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones went 3-for-5 with two home runs during their contest against Double-A Reading on Sunday. This was Jones' second multi-hit game of the regular season. Through the first nine games of the Somerset Patriots' regular season, Jones has posted a strong .290/.421/.613 slash line with one double and three home runs. He has tallied seven RBI, scored eight runs, and swiped three bags. Jones is considered the No. 3 prospect in the Yankee system on MLB.com. Last summer, the 23-year-old spent the entire campaign with Double-A. Across 122 games, he held a modest .259/.336/.452 slash line with 17 long balls. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he could be in the mix for a promotion to Triple-A if he continues to produce.

The New York Yankees reassigned outfield prospect Spencer Jones to minor-league camp on Tuesday. Jones' first spring training with the Yankees ended with mixed results. On a positive note, the 6-foot-6 slugger finished 6-for-20 (.300) with two home runs, six RBI, and a stolen base over nine games, but on the downside, the left-handed hitter struck out in almost half of his plate appearances (45.5 percent). If it wasn't already a problem, then there wouldn't be much concern, but the former first-rounder struck out 36.8 percent of the time at Double-A last season. If he can continue to hit home runs and drive runs in, then it may not matter, but this season should be a good litmus test to see whether he's ready for the big time or not. Dynasty managers can't ignore the power, but if he struggles when he sees Triple-A pitching for the first time, then there may not be a reason to believe he'll be in the majors at any point in 2025.
