Jared Jones Back on Mound After Tommy John Recovery
The Pirates righty is 2-1 with a 3.72 ERA in 2025 after missing last season recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Jared Jones, Pittsburgh's 2020 second-round pick, missed the 2024 season recovering from Tommy John surgery. He has returned in 2025 and is 2-1 with a 3.72 ERA. In his most recent start against the Cubs, he pitched six innings allowing two hits and one earned run. His workload and durability remain worth monitoring given the recency of his elbow surgery.
