Andruw Jones was 0-for-4 (all with runners on base) with a pair of strikeouts Monday and is now batting just .115 with an 8:2 K:BB in 26 at-bats. Jones actually had his best month in terms of OPS (tied) last year in April, so we can’t really say he’s a slow starter. He should heat up eventually, but it had better happen soon for the punchless Dodgers. (Rotowire)

Jones is hitless in his past 12 at-bats, with six strikeouts. “He is just over-trying,” hitting coach Mike Easler said. “He has been practicing great. He came out early the last couple of days. He knows exactly what he is doing. His (back) shoulder is dropping, which is causing his front shoulder to fly, so he is kind of winging it. He just needs to get that one hit, hit that one ball up the middle, and I think he’ll be fine.” For now, he is anything but fine. (CBS Sports)

Dodgers OF Andruw Jones went 1-for-4 with a single in his first game with his new team Monday against the Giants. He showed no signs of the leg cramp that bothered him in the spring finale.  Jones struggled for consistency all season during his last campaign with the Braves in 2007. He hit .222, and his 26 homers was his lowest total since hitting 26 in 1999, his third full season in the majors. Jones will be motivated for a big season after a disappointing sendoff in Atlanta. Consider him a comeback candidate in Fantasy.  (CBS Sports)

From CBS Sports:

Dodgers OF Andruw Jones sat out the spring finale Sunday against the Red Sox because of a cramp in his leg. Manager Joe Torre said he could have played, but wanted to stay on the safe side. Jones struggled for consistency all season during his last campaign with the Braves in 2007. He hit .222, and his 26 homers was his lowest total since hitting 26 in 1999, his third full season in the majors. Jones will be motivated for a big season after a disappointing sendoff in Atlanta. Consider him a comeback candidate in Fantasy. We assume he’ll be fine to open the season.
