Overall
Summary
Jared Jones, 24-year-old Pirates right-handed pitcher, is progressing through rehab assignments following UCL surgery in May 2025. He missed the entire 2025 season with a right elbow injury. Jones has completed two rehab starts: a perfect three innings with 5 strikeouts for Single-A Bradenton (April 29), and three innings of one-run ball with 2 strikeouts for Triple-A Indianapolis (May 6), reaching 100.1 mph on his fastball. GM Ben Cherington expects Jones to require 4-5 total rehab outings before returning to the Pirates rotation, with a projected late May/early June MLB return. The Pirates view him as a long-term starter and may implement a six-man rotation upon his return.
