Tigers release Jacque Jones


Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - The Detroit Tigers waived struggling outfielder Jacque Jones on Tuesday.

Jones had struggled with the Tigers in his first season with the club, batting just .165 with one homer and five runs batted in over 24 games.

The 33-year-old veteran, who was designated for assignment on May 5, was acquired by Detroit last November in a deal that sent infielder Omar Infante to the Chicago Cubs. Jones had spent two seasons with the Cubs after playing the first seven years of his career with Minnesota.

Jones is a career .278 hitter with 165 homers and 628 RBI in 1,284 major league games.
