The Texas Rangers added another name to the list of players who suffer freak injuries that impact their season. Just six years ago former starter Derek Holland made headlines after suffering a knee injury from reportedly tripping over his dog while on the stairs. Now, bullpen-hopeful James Jones looks to be out for the entirety of the 2020 season, whenever that happens, after tripping over one of his son’s toys and reportedly tearing the patella tendon in his right knee.
Jones’ story is one most fans can get behind and the 2020 season looked like a chance for the 31-year old to finally crack the Rangers’ bullpen.
