During Ben Cherington's appearance on the team-produced radio show, he mentioned Jared Jones will begin his rehab assignment with low Class A Bradenton on Wednesday.
"We'll start there in the Florida State League. Obviously at some point, he'll pitch at higher levels of the minor leagues during a rehab assignment," Cherington said. "We anticipate that goes well... will kind of take it as an outing at a time and map out the rest of the schedule. We anticipate several outings, sort of trying to approximate a spring training as closely as we can and get past all the physical checks. He pitched an extended game last week, was up to 100. His last fastball was 99, so he's hitting the velocity, he's recovering well, all that stuff is good. Now just gotta get back into that routine being a pitcher, executing pitches and getting outs."
Jones missed the entire 2025 season and is currently on the 60-day injured list after undergoing elbow surgery in May. This is a good sign, though, as he looks to return later this season.
