With Aaron Judge set to miss time with a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, the Yankees are set to recall outfielder Spencer Jones, according to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman on Friday. The club has not confirmed.
Ranked as the club's No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, Jones earned his first callup on May 8 before he was optioned two weeks later. Jones was called up at that time when Jasson Domínguez sustained a low-grade left AC joint sprain.
In 10 games, the 25-year-old Jones posted a slash line of .167/.259/.167 with two RBIs.
At Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Jones has 13 homers and 48 RBIs over 43 games this season. In his career, the slugger has 85 homers and a .497 slugging percentage in five Minor League seasons.
