Spencer Jones returns to New York Yankees lineup for Los Angeles Angels series

The New York Yankees reinstated Spencer Jones into their batting order for the opening game of their series against the Los Angeles Angels. Jones is slated to start in right field and hit seventh in the lineup. The announcement follows a recent stretch where the Yankees secured three of four wins against the Boston Red Sox. These results helped the team gain ground in the AL Wild Card standings, while they remain 4.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East. Managerial adjustments for the latest lineup include Jose Caballero starting at shortstop and the exclusion of George Lombard, Paul Goldschmidt, and Heliot Ramos from the starting order.
