Jones injured his shoulder during his first batting practice session with the Arizona Diamondbacks last week.
The son of 10-time Gold Glove Award winner Andruw Jones felt a tweak in his left shoulder and was sent for an MRI. He will undergo an arthroscopic posterior labral repair on Wednesday, according to The Arizona Republic.
The surgery is the same operation that Diamondbacks' 2021 first-round pick Jordan Lawlar underwent earlier this year.

The surgery will leave Jones out eight to nine months, which could even sideline him for a brief portion of the 2023 season.
Jones received a signing bonus just shy of $9 million and was widely regarded as one of the top prospects in the draft, with many experts saying he was the best player available.
