ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- New York Yankees prospect Spencer Jones homered in his first three at-bats in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 10-8 loss to Rochester on Thursday.
A frequent subject of trade rumors, the left-handed hitting Jones -- a towering figure at the plate at 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds -- took the minor league home run lead with 29.
The 24-year-old former Vanderbilt star has 13 homers in 19 games in Triple-A. New York drafted him 25th overall in 2022.
Jones had his first three-homer game, with all of them off Bryce Conley -- and on two-strike pitches.
