Nolan Jones

Martinez had started five of the last six games in center field, but the Guardians will play Nolan Jones there on Wednesday with Jhonkensy Noel in right field. Martinez has hit well enough to remain in the lineup, so Daniel Schneeman will shift to third base and Jose Ramirez will DH on Wednesday.

Brennan is making a second straight start since his callup. The Guardians will be getting Lane Thomas back from the IL either this weekend or early next week, at which point either Brennan or Jhonkensy Noel figures to be demoted. Jones is probably safe himself, since he's out of options, but he'd be in line to lose much of his playing time if Brennan sticks.

Jones's second homer of the year was a 422-footer of Jake Irvin. The 388-foot double came in his next at-bat and would have been a homer in seven ballparks. Jones has been one of the game's unluckiest hitters, according to Statcast, so things have been due to turn around. He entered the day with a .156/.278/.260 line in spite of a 57% hard-hit rate.

Brennan took Zebby Matthews deep for his third home run of the season, and is currently slashing .320/.351/.456 with two steals. With Jhonkensy Noel hitting .164/.186/.269 with a 30 percent strikeout rate at the big league level, and Nolan Jones also struggling, it's possible the Guardians could make a swap in the coming weeks.

Jones is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.
