According to one report, the Guardians are calling up one of their top prospects on Thursday. Per Guardians Perspective, the team will promote 24-year old Nolan Jones before the start of their series against the Royals:
Jones has played well for Triple-A Columbus this season, hitting .311./417./500 with a .917 OPS in 23 games. Since being selected by the team in the second round (55th overall) of the 2016 Draft, Jones has hit .275/.399/.448 with a .847 OPS and 54 home runs.
MLB Pipeline considers Jones to be the Guardians' 7th-best overall prospect, and in their writeup, praise his "bat speed, strength and the leverage in his left-handed swing" while declaring that he has "the best raw power in the system -- as well as arguably the most patient approach."
