Since his June 5 call-up, Spencer Jones has impressed with a .318/.423/.636 line and a 193 wRC+ in 26 plate appearances, though his at-bats against left-handers have been limited due to past struggles. Manager Aaron Boone suggests Jones will eventually face more lefties, despite the team’s urgency. Meanwhile, George Lombard Jr. is sidelined with a finger injury, while Gerrit Cole has excelled post-surgery, boasting a 2.57 ERA in five starts this season.
