  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Sent to Lehigh Valley

    Jones (shoulder) was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

    Jones dealt with a left shoulder impingement for most of the 2022 season and will be outrighted to the minors as a procedural move to remove him from the 60-day injured list for now. It's unclear what his status will be for the start of spring training in 2023.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Out two months with shoulder injury

    The Phillies recalled Jones from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a left shoulder impingement.

    After being optioned to Lehigh Valley earlier this season, Jones hadn't pitched for the club since May 19 and was later placed on the 7-day IL The Phillies' decision to call him up and move him to the 60-day IL ensures that the southpaw reliever will now be on the shelf for at least the next two months. The transaction also clears a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Oscar Mercado, whom the Phillies claimed off waivers from the Guardians on Monday.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Optioned to Triple-A

    Jones was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Gets call to majors

    The Phillies recalled Jones from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for Bailey Falter, who was optioned to Triple-A after tossing a scoreless inning in Monday's 8-2 win over the Rockies. Jones will give the Phillies a fresh arm but isn't expected to see much work in high-leverage situations.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Optioned to Triple-A

    Jones was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after Wednesday's loss to the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Jones surrendered two runs over two-thirds of an inning Wednesday, and he also gave up two runs during his season debut Sunday against the A's. The 27-year-old earned a spot in Philadelphia's Opening Day bullpen but is now headed to the minors a week into the season.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Secures bullpen spot

    Jones will open the year in the Phillies' big-league bullpen, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Teams can carry two extra players over the first four weeks of the season to account for the shortened spring, so the Phillies will open the year with a 10-man bullpen. Jones has only made a single one-out appearance in his major-league career and struggled to a 5.44 ERA for Triple-A Lehigh Valley last season, so he'll need to impress early on if he's to stick around once rosters shrink to 26 in early May.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Moves back to minors

    The Phillies optioned Jones to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

    Jones was sent to the farm to make room on the 28-man active roster for outfielder Travis Jankowski (foot), who was reinstated from the injured list. During his week-long stay with the big club, Jones went unused out of the bullpen.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Returns to majors

    Jones was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Jones has been at Triple-A since being demoted in mid-August but will rejoin the Phillies for Friday's series opener against the Mets. The left-hander has one big-league appearance this season and has a 5.50 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 49:33 K:BB across 37.2 innings at Triple-A.

    Jones was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

    Jones made his major-league debut Tuesday and allowed a hit and two walks in a scoreless third of an inning against the Dodgers. However, he'll return to the minors to make room for right-hander Connor Brogdon (elbow), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

    Jones was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

    Jones was with the Phillies for their final game before the All-Star break, but he still hasn't made his major-league debut. The southpaw will provide a fresh arm out of the bullpen after he recorded a 6.31 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in 25.2 innings across 19 relief appearances in the minors.

    Jones was promoted for the final game before the All-Star break and will return to the minors without making his big-league debut. The 26-year-old has a 6.86 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 22:17 K:BB over 19.2 innings for Lehigh Valley this season.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Recalled from Triple-A

    Jones was recalled by the Phillies on Sunday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Jones was recalled as a result of several Phillies' pitchers being placed on COVID-19 injured list. He was recalled briefly in late April, but he never appeared in a game for the big-league club. Jones has struggled with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season, posting a 6.86 ERA and 1.72 WHIP with 22 strikeouts across 19.2 innings.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Optioned to Triple-A

    Jones was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

    Jones joined the big-league roster Monday but will head straight back to the minors without making an appearance. Ramon Rosso was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Earns first big-league call-up

    Jones was called up by the Phillies on Monday.

    Jones is a 26-year-old lefty with good stuff and significant command issues. In 253.2 career minor-league innings, he owns a 3.34 ERA and 29.1 percent strikeout rate but has also walked 12.0 percent of opposing batters, including 16.5 percent during his eight starts for Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2019. The fact that he's a southpaw could help him carve out a career in the bullpen. He'll get his first shot to do that Monday, as the Phillies called up three players to replace three more who landed on the COVID-19 injured list.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Protected from Rule 5 draft

    Jones was added to the Phillies' 40-man roster Friday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

    Jones rapidly progressed through the minor-league ranks in 2019, and he was part of the team's 60-man roster in 2020. The southpaw will be protected from the Rule 5 draft, but he'll likely have to demonstrate more production against higher-level talent before debuting in the big leagues.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Part of 60-man roster

    Jones will be part of the Phillies' 60-man roster.

    Jones, who is not on the 40-man roster, received an invite to spring training this year but was sent back to minor-league camp after three scoreless frames. The 25-year-old quickly advanced through the organization in 2019, but struggled a bit at the Triple-A level, posting a 6.62 ERA in eight appearances. He'll again compete for a back-end bullpen role in camp.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Throws well in camp

    Jones posted a 5:2 K:BB in his three scoreless Grapefruit League innings before getting sent to minor-league camp in early March.

    The Phillies didn't give Jones a particularly long look this spring, which makes sense, as his 6.62 ERA in eight Triple-A starts last season suggests he still has some work to do before pushing for a roster spot. In 23 starts across the three highest levels of the minors last season, Jones recorded a 2.91 ERA and a 32.3 percent strikeout rate, though he also walked 12.6 percent of opposing batters.

  • Phillies' Damon Jones: Will join big-league camp

    Jones was invited to the Phillies' big-league camp Monday.

    Jones posted an excellent 1.34 ERA and a 38.1 percent strikeout rate in 15 starts with High-A Clearwater and Double-A Reading last season. He stumbled in eight starts at Triple-A Lehigh Valley to end the year, however, recording a 6.62 ERA and a 20.9 percent strikeout rate. He'll need to conquer that level before he'll be considered for his big-league debut, but it certainly wouldn't be surprising to see that come at some point this season.
