Pirates’ Jones having surgery, won’t return in ’25

Pirates senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Jones visited elbow surgeon Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday and made the decision to proceed with the surgery. A time frame for Jones’ return has yet to be established.

Jones went 6-8 with a 4.14 ERA in 22 starts during his rookie season in 2024, though he did miss time because of a lat injury.
