The Arizona Diamondbacks’ No. 2 prospect outfielder Druw Jones will miss “a few weeks” with a hamstring injury, Arizona Republic’s Nick Piecoro reported on Monday.
This is Jones’ third injury since he joined Arizona.
The injury comes as he was recovering from a right quadriceps injury he suffered running the bases last week, Piecoro writes.
Jones was selected No. 2 overall in the 2022 MLB draft and has dealt with a few injuries in his short time with the club.

He has spent time with the Visalia Rawhide Low-A ball before injuring his quad as well as with the Diamondbacks in the Arizona Complex League. For the most part he has struggled in a small sample size, slashing .173/.283/.475 with five RBIs and no home runs in just 14 games.
He appeared in a rehab assignment on June 13 and played in just four games before hurting his hamstring.
