Jones's ability to keep the walks at bay, allowing none against a formidable Phillies lineup, was a highlight, even as he surrendered three earned runs on six hits. His season stats, boasting a 4.00 ERA, a stellar 0.94 WHIP, and an impressive 12.5 K/9 through three starts, suggest that Jones is on the right path, despite the Pirates' struggles to back him up offensively. The lack of support did little to tarnish his individual performance, which continues to be marked by a high strikeout-to-walk ratio (12.50) and an efficient 3.84 FIP. Fantasy managers should take note of Jones's high strikeout potential and low WHIP, as these indicators, combined with his ability to limit free passes, position him as a valuable asset in fantasy rotations, even as wins may be harder to come by on a Pirates team as the season progresses.

The right-hander will look to harness his overpowering repertoire while hoping for more consistent run support from an inconsistent Pittsburgh lineup as the season continues.
