with Jones\u2019 mom and family sitting next to the Yankees dugout<\/a>, as they did all weekend, including his MLB debut Friday night.<\/p>\n\u201cIt was super exciting,\u201d said Jones, who had the ball in a case sitting in his locker after the game. \u201cI\u2019m glad my family was here to share that with me. Teammates rooting me on, a lot of congratulations. I was excited to get a run across too for the guys. It was a pretty special moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones\u2019 new teammates were equally excited.<\/p>\n
\u201cEcstatic,\u201d said Aaron Judge, who was impressed by how \u201ccomposed\u201d Jones was throughout the series. \u201cEverybody was kind of waiting for it. Just happy his family could be here for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jones finished the game 1-for-4 with a strikeout and the series 1-for-9 with five strikeouts and a walk, getting a stiff test from a challenging Brewers pitching staff that shut down most of the Yankees all weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the days have gone, I\u2019ve settled in more and starting to feel more comfortable, doing what I can do,\u201d Jones said. \u201cI think moving forward, going to be in a good spot.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old (who turns 25 on Thursday) started in right field Sunday, with Judge getting a DH day, after starting in center Saturday and DH on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he had some good at-bats,\u201d manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cI thought got some decent swings off, was recognizing the zone. I don\u2019t think he was chasing a lot, but also ran into some tough matchups there for him, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cam Schlittler was still \u201cpretty sore\u201d Sunday morning, Boone said, the day after taking a 108.5 mph comebacker off his left calf in the first inning of his six-inning gem. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The right-hander, who had a sizable welt and the imprint of the ball on his calf Saturday night, was expected to be getting treatment on it in the coming days ahead of his next scheduled start Friday against the Mets.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope not, but I don\u2019t know,\u201d Boone said when asked if it could be an issue for his next start. \u201cI\u2019m sure he\u2019ll be working overtime with the trainers and just trying to get that flushed out this week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gerrit Cole made his fifth rehab start Sunday with Double-A Somerset, building up to 77 pitches across five innings while striking out eight, walking one and giving up two earned runs. <\/p>\n
He is expected to need at least one or two more rehab starts before he could rejoin the Yankees.<\/p>\n
