My bet is that Jones really doesnt need to be put on IR and isn't really that hurt however mgmt saw it as an opportunity to put someone on IR whom they may have healthy scratched to keep all of the prospects eyes open to the potential of being called up.
It would be deflating to be on the Addy Flames for 3 months where not 1 person is called up. At least now, anyone who was a bubble player has motivation to keep working their tail off and believe what the flames told them.
