Jared Jones out for spring training with elbow injury

Jared Jones, a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, will miss spring training due to an elbow injury. As the team prepares for the upcoming season, they are closely monitoring his recovery. Fans are anxious for updates on his condition. Manager Derek Shelton confirmed that Jones will not make his next spring training start. The team is currently awaiting further medical evaluations to understand the extent of the injury. Senior director of sports medicine, Todd Tomczyk, noted that this process is standard when a pitcher reports discomfort. There is currently no timeline for Jones' return. The Pirates are seeking a second opinion on the injury, and until more assessments are completed, it is uncertain when he will be back on the mound. Last season, Jones had a 6-8 record with a 4.14 ERA and was expected to play a significant role this year.
