Pirates’ Jared Jones Faces Career Crossroad with Unexpected Elbow Surgery—What This Means for His Future on the Mound
Jones’ rookie numbers weren’t as flashy as Skenes’, and he didn’t make the NL All-Star team or place in the NL Cy Young Award and Rookie of the Year voting because of it. Nonetheless, he had a respectable season for the Pirates, compiling a 4.14 ERA and 6-8 record with 132 strikeouts in 121 2/3 innings.
However, Jones suffered a sprain to his right ulnar collateral ligament during spring training. After several imaging exams and consultations with multiple doctors, the ligament was determined to be intact and surgery wouldn’t be necessary.
