Through 36 games this season, Jones is 17-for-100 (.170) with two doubles, two home runs, nine RBIs, five walks and 42 strikeouts. In Sunday s 3-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals, the 29-year-old struck out in two of four plate appearances, though he did walk once.
Jones has been considered the Tigers everyday center fielder in recent years, but his playing time was trimmed this season because of the emergence of 22-year-old 2020 Rule 5 draft pick Akil Baddoo. A more crucial factor in the lack of opportunities: Jones has struggled at the plate.
His woes are comparable to what Reyes went through in April and early May.

Matt Manning has had a home run ridden start to his 2021 season. Through four starts, he’s already allowed nine long balls, and while many of them were somewhat cheap, there have been plenty of hard contact and deep fly balls as well.

Many school districts are holding in-person graduations this commencement season, a much-anticipated celebration after COVID-19 upended graduations for the Class of 2020.
Last year, high schools were forced to pivot and host virtual ceremonies in the early months of the pandemic. Some had drive-by graduations in which graduates hopped out of their cars, posed for a photo with their diploma and drove off or found other creative ways to honor their students.

Universities near and dear to DeWine his alma mater Miami University, his law school Ohio Northern University, and his neighbor Cedarville University all sent neckties. He got them from the biggest schools University of Cincinnati, Ohio State University as well as the smaller campuses such as Bluffton University and Hiram College.
DeWine spokesman Dan Tierney noted that the governor has been wearing the ties to events other than his COVID19 press conferences. He wore the Miami University tie to the May 13 graduation for the Class of 2020, which included two of his grandsons.
