Andruw Jones will begin his rehab assignment on Saturday, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.Jones has been out with a sore knee and, presumably, a bruised ego. He will try to rehab both while spending some time in the minor leagues.

Andruw Jones and Delwyn Young will begin minor league rehab assignments on Saturday. It's debatable if either player is truly injured, or if they're just being stashed for roster concerns. The Dodgers hope that some time in the minors will help Jones resemble mediocrity. By starting his rehab now, Young won't exceed his maximum number of rehab games before rosters are expanded.Source: Los Angeles Daily News Related: Delwyn Young

Dodgers.MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports Los Angeles Dodgers OF Andruw Jones (knee) will go on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas at the end of the week.

There was no explanation as to how Jones sustained the injury, though it is not the knee on which he underwent surgery to repair torn cartilage earlier this season. Manager Joe Torre said he hoped that Jones would be able to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas by the start of next week, and admitted that rushing the veteran outfielder back from his prior injury "could have been" a mistake. Meanwhile, Garciaparra returns to the lineup for the first time since being sidelined July 28.

News: The Los Angeles Dodgers activated infielder Nomar Garciaparra from the disabled list Tuesday and placed center fielder Andruw Jones on the 15-day DL, retroactive to Aug. 10.

Analysis: Jones, laboring through the worst season of his 13-year career, has soreness in his left knee. The five-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove winner is batting .161 in 74 games with three home runs and 14 RBIs in the first year of a $36.2 million, two-year contract. He underwent surgery May 27 to repair torn cartilage in his right knee. "It's been going on for a few days with him, and I told him if it doesn't get any better, with Nomar coming back, this was probably one of the options we have. And he was OK with it," manager Joe Torre said. He has gone from being a viable Fantasy OF to pretty much nothing

Dodgers placed outfielder Andruw Jones on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Aug. 10, with a sore left knee. Andruw is fine to play, but it makes more sense to let him get at-bats in the minors than to have him rot on the Dodgers' bench. He's hitting .161/.261/.254 in 205 at-bats this season.

The Associated Press reports the Los Angeles Dodgers placed OF Andruw Jones (knee) on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, Aug. 12, with soreness in his left knee. The move is retroactive to Sunday, Aug. 10.

As speculated, Dodgers outfielder Andruw Jones has been put on the 15-day disabled list with an irritated patellar tendon in his right knee, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.Jones has been an unmitigated disaster this season, hitting an embarrassing .161 with three home run sin 205 at-bats. Nobody has him on a fantasy roster, so this move will not affect anybody that way.

The Los Angeles Daily News confirms that Andruw Jones will be placed on the 15-day disabled list. The move will be made to make room for Nomar Garciaparra, who will be activated prior to Tuesday night's game. The team says they may have made a mistake in activating Jones too early from his last stint on the DL, a drop in the bucket compared to the mistake of signing him in the first place.Source: Los Angeles Daily News Related: Nomar Garciaparra

The Associated Press reports Los Angeles Dodgers OF Andruw Jones (knee) may be put on the disabled list due to soreness in his surgically repaired right knee.

Manager Joe Torre said Monday that Andruw Jones (knee) may be placed on the disabled list to make room on the roster for Nomar Garciaparra. According to Torre, the patella tendon in Jones' right knee is sore, yet "it has nothing to do with" his previous surgery to repair torn cartilage in the same knee. Garciaparra is expected to come off the DL prior to Tuesday's game and placing Jones on the shelf could give the Dodgers an opportunity to send him to the minors for a rehab stint.Source: Los Angeles Times Related: Nomar Garciaparra

News: Dodgers INF Nomar Garciaparra is expected to be activated Tuesday, the first day he is eligible to come off the disabled list. He has been sidelined since July 28 with a left knee strain. CF Andruw Jones might replace Garciaparra on the DL because of soreness in his surgically repaired right knee.

Analysis: Jones has missed the last two games and has made just two starts in August. Jones has already been on the DL in 2008 and has been one of the biggest free-agent busts in MLB history. He has gone from being a viable Fantasy OF to pretty much nothing

Andruw Jones could be headed to the DL to make room for the returning Nomar Garciaparra on Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.Jones has an irritated patellar tendon in his right knee and could use the time on the DL to head down to the minor leagues to try and find the swing that, previous to the last two years, had him headed toward the Hall of Fame.

The Dodgers are saying that Andruw Jones is day-to-day because of a tender right knee, according to Dodgers.com.It could be his right knee that is keeping him out, or possibly his .161 average and .261 on-base percentage. Injured knee or not, his fantasy value disappeared many moons ago.

Ken Gurnick, of MLB.com, reports Los Angeles Dodgers OF Andruw Jones is starting in center field Friday, Aug. 8.

News: The Sports Xchange notes that Andruw Jones pinch-hit in the ninth inning and hit his first home run since May 15. He had been hitless in his previous 10 at-bats.

Analysis: There had been some talk of sending Jones down to the minors in an attempt to get him back on track, but that doesn't seem too likely at this point. The addition of Manny Ramirez has severely limited Jones' at-bats to the point where he is not useful even in most NL-only leagues. He's worth stashing in some larger formats in the hopes that he can return to his slugging ways, but that's only if you can afford the roster space at this point

Diamond Leung, of The Riverside Press-Enterprise, reports Los Angeles Dodgers OF Andruw Jones smacked a pinch-hit home run in the ninth inning Tuesday, Aug. 5, against the St. Louis Cardinals, but the Cardinals held on in extra innings for a 6-4 victory.

That's the first long ball in the last 79 at-bats for Jones, a stat that speaks volumes about his utter lack of productivity this season. Don't expect too many more big flies from the stumbling slugger, who entered the contest with a .241 slugging percentage that was roughly 250 points off his career mark.

Andruw Jones hit his first homer since May 15 as a pinch-hitter in Tuesday's game. Jones delivered a solo shot off Ron Villone. He's hitting just .164 in 67 at-bats since returning from the DL a month ago, and there's been talk of sending him down to the minors so that he can play regularly.

The club thinks Jones has the best chance to return to form working with hitting coaches Don Mattingly and Jeff Pentland in the Majors. "You're taking him away from the people that we think can help him," manager Joe Torre said. "That's not something we're comfortable with right now. Hopefully, we can see some progress."

As he continues to struggle through a horrific season, rumors are starting to leak from the Dodgers organization indicating the team may send outfielder Andruw Jones to the minors, according to the Los Angeles Times.The Dodgers signed Jones to a two-year, $36-million contract last winter, and now they have traded for another outfielder that is actually earning his money (Manny Ramirez). The rumors are likely put forth to motivate the troubled slugger, but for the Dodgers, it could make sense to give him time in the minors to see if he can find that old magic in his bat. Boosting his confidence could be the answer, but the team would be spending a ton of dough to do so. We'll keep you posted.

News: In OF Manny Ramirez's first game as a Dodgers, OF Andruw Jones remained in the starting lineup, forcing Juan Pierre and Andre Ethier to the bench. Jones went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Ethier and Pierre both pinch hit, with Ethier walking and Pierre stealing a base and scoring a run.

Analysis: We predict Jones will get the fewest at-bats of these three because of his struggles this season, but you never know. Only Pierre deserves a look in mixed leagues thanks to this dicey situation, and even him just in Rotisserie formats

Andruw Jones continued his embarrassing campaign, going 0-for-4 and striking out once in the Dodgers loss to Arizona.Jones hit .159 for the month of July, and is now hitting .163 on the year. Clearly, fantasy owners don't have him on their team, and neither should the Dodgers.
