Giants’ Ryder Jones Out For Season With Dislocated Knee

By Kyle Downing | September 9, 2018 at 6:27pm CDT

Giants rookie infielder Ryder Jones will not return this season after dislocating his knee, as Alex Pavlovic of NBC Bay Area was among those to report. Jones made seven plate appearances during his brief September call up.

It’s a sad and unfortunate situation for Jones, as the injury was something of a freak accident. The video in the link above shows how the 24-year-old dislocated his knee: it happened during an all-or-nothing-type swing in which he fouled a pitch into the seats behind third base. Jones immediately collapsed to the ground in immense pain, and needed help from the training staff to leave the field. The official diagnosis thereafter was a left knee patella dislocation, which apparently felt as painful as it sounds. The worst part is that this is the recurrence of a similar injury Jones suffered during the 2015 season.

Jones will reportedly undergo an MRI on Monday in order to determine if there’s any further damage beyond the initial diagnosis, and he’ll likely hit the 60-day disabled list at some point in the upcoming days to clear room for another September body. That will bring an abrupt end to an audition that was shaping up to be quite interesting; although Jones had only amassed seven plate appearances across four September contests, he’d already collected three hits including two homers.

Of course, there are risks that come with his profile. Jones struck out in the other four trips to the plate in 2018, and that certainly doesn’t help alleviate the pre-existing concerns about his plate discipline. During Jones’ MLB debut last season, he whiffed in 31.7% of his plate appearances while walking just 6.1% of the time. Across 171 trips to the plate in his career, Jones has now compiled a .185/.251/.318 batting line.

      Since 2016 after all star games
      Giants are a very terrible team
      Bad baseball
      AAA level at best

      Can’t figure out myself
      Been giants fan since 1975
      Bobby murcer my favorite

      Some said giants need power
      I said giants need to score

      If eight players hit .300
      Good pitching winning team???

      Giants had neither
      Very terrible
      Front office should be fire

      Terrible trade
      Terrible contracts

      When giants need to make trade to help get players for play off runs
      Not happening

      Sign eight players to $ 20 million each
      Just to sit on bench now doing nothing
      As fan worst team since 1975

      Can’t figure out why???

    .185 hitter. Maybe this will help him in the long run.

      Apparently not good enough of a fan. They need a rebuild

      So, which bandwagon brought you to the Giants fan base ? 2010 or 2012 or 2014 ?

    I dislocated my knee swinging about 15 years ago. Actually hit a HR on the swing and thought that was the last AB of my baseball career. I came back a year later and it happened again. It will never feel the same but hoping he is able to come back from it 100%. Doubtful though since this his 2nd time.

    Talk about pain , happened to me twice within 6 weeks of high school baseball. Both times , school nurse ,was useless. But I did teach her some new words. Then an ambulance, then my Doctor , grab my ankle and lift my leg while pushing the knee back in place. So, easy except it was 2 hours before I got to the Dr.. This was before today’s micro surgery. Back then it was Joe Namath, surgery, with a 10 inch scar. And I could crush the curveball, in those days. Convinced I’d be drafted, but after the second dislocation. Lost hope and coaches didn’t want to play me. Today I can pop my own knee back in place, while screaming like Porky Pig at a Pork BBQ. Anyway glad to see him walk off, trainer must have popped it back in. I have many more stories of where and how I dislocated my knee. But I shall spare you. Unless you need something too put you to sleep…..Yawn, ……Snore…..

    Even the prospects are suffering season-ending injuries. The Giants don’t need a new GM: they need an exorcist.

    Yes giants need new gm

    After all star 2016
    Had chance to get Mark M to hold the lead
    Not happening

    Last year had chance to not renew Johnny
    C. Now injury
    Had chance to trade Jeff s
    Not happening
    After 98 lost still think two players away from contention???
    And get Andrew m and Evans l
    What a joke

    At least gm admit not working
    Get rid of Andrew m

    After a 98 lost and lost 42 of last 72 in 2018

    I rather see the 1984 giants then 2017
    2018 giants anytime
    They have Jeff Leonard chilli Davis and Jack Clark best complete outfielders giants ever have power speed defense
    Champion caliber

    Last few years outfielders are a joke
