Nolan Jones Returns to Rockies Active Roster After Injured List Stint
Outfielder Nolan Jones Activated from 10-Day Injured List
The Colorado Rockies have reinstated outfielder Nolan Jones from the 10-day injured list. Jones, who was placed on the IL with a low back strain on August 16, is expected to return to the lineup on Monday against the San Francisco Giants.
Jones' Return Bolsters Rockies' Struggling Offense
Jones' return is a welcome addition to a Rockies offense that has struggled mightily in recent weeks. The team has scored just 3.8 runs per game since the All-Star break, 29th in the Major Leagues.
Jones, who is hitting .265 with 12 home runs and 41 RBIs in 92 games this season, is expected to bat leadoff and play center field.
Rockies Hope Jones Can Provide Spark
The Rockies are hoping that Jones can provide a spark to an offense that has been anemic for much of the season. The team is currently 10 games under .500 and 10 games back of the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers.
