Diamondbacks OF prospect Druw Jones has been diagnosed with a right quad strain.
Jones was added to the 7-day injured list on Saturday. Jones, who was selected second overall in last summer's MLB draft, was off to a slow start this year, hitting .175/.283/.200 across 46 plate appearances. The 19-year-old underwent shoulder surgery last year, so seeing him slow out of the gate is not surprising. He's regarded as a top-50 prospect but is still years away from the majors.
Diamondbacks OF prospect Druw Jones (shoulder) is expected to be ready for the start of the upcoming minor league season.
Jones, who was selected second overall in last summer's MLB Draft, continues to make steady progress in his recovery from shoulder surgery. The 19-year-old tore the posterior labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder during his first official workout with the club at Salt River Fields just a few days after the draft. He's universally-regarded as a top-50 prospect entering the 2023 campaign, but is years away from the majors.
Diamondbacks OF prospect Druw Jones will undergo surgery to repair the posterial labrum in his left shoulder.
It's unclear how long Jones will be sidelined at the moment and it's an unfortunate outcome for the second overall selection in the 2022 MLB Draft. The 18-year-old outfielder sustained the injury in his first official batting practice session with the organization last week. There should be an update on his status sometime in the near future.
Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports that Diamondbacks OF prospect Druw Jones suffered a shoulder injury during his first batting practice session with the organization on Monday.
This BP session took place just after Jones, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, signed pen to paper on an $8.19 million signing bonus from the D-backs. "It seems like he will be out for a little while," farm director Josh Barfield told The Athletic. Jones is scheduled to visit a doctor on Wednesday to help determine the best course of action, but it sounds like he might not play any pro ball this season.
