Diamondbacks top draft pick Druw Jones could miss the rest of his first professional season after suffering a shoulder injury in his first batting practice with the organization Monday, as first reported by The Athletic.
Jones sustained the injury just two days after finalizing an $8.19 million deal with the Diamondbacks, who selected him with the No. 2 pick in the 2022 MLB draft earlier this month.
“He was just taking (batting practice) and took a regular round of BP and felt something in his shoulder on his second-to-last swing,” Arizona farm director Josh Barfield said, per the Arizona Republic.
