Jared Jones an Elite Injury Stash Target for Upside
Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Jared Jones (elbow) is an elite injury stash target for upside, even though he's still on the 60-day injured list. According to general manager Ben Cherington, Jones will meet with the team back in Pittsburgh and throw a bullpen session on Tuesday before "making a determination" on his next outing/activation, per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Cherington did not clarify whether Jones will be a starter or a reliever. He's under consideration for a return from the IL, but the Pirates want to make sure his recovery continues to go well. The 24-year-old former second-rounder in 2020 threw 76 pitches and allowed three runs while walking three and striking out six in 4 1/3 innings in his latest minor-league rehab outing on Saturday at Triple-A Indianapolis. Jones has a 2.89 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 24:6 K:BB in 18 2/3 frames over his five rehab starts with Single-A Bradenton, Double-A Altoona, and Indy, and is on the cusp of returning after he missed all of 2025 due to UCL surgery on his right elbow. He's currently rostered in only 21% of Yahoo leagues and is one of the best pitching stashes in fantasy right now.
