Detroit – Someday JaCoby Jones will talk publicly about the abject frustration and disappointment he’s feeling about having the most promising big-league season of his career cut short by a fractured ulna bone in his left wrist.
Sunday was not that day, however.
Jones twice briskly walked past three waiting reporters, not even making eye contact, let alone saying hello. Message received. Too soon. Emotions still too raw.
Jones was hit in the wrist by a 96-mph fastball from Royals pitcher Jorge Lopez on Friday. Initial X-rays came back negative, but a CTscan Saturday revealed the fracture.
