The franchise will hold a ceremony on Sept. 9 ahead of its game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Jones called it a "great honor":
"You don't think about things like that while you're playing. You just play the game you love. I'm thankful to the Braves for giving me the opportunity to play the game I love. Being the first kid from Curaçao to have his jersey retired is also an honor.
