Jason Jones Promoted to AAA, Aceves' Start Pushed Back

From Chad Jennings' Blog:
Dave Miley won't confirm the move -- I didn't expect him to -- but Jason Jones (left) is going to make his Triple-A debut Saturday in Buffalo. That day was originally listed as the first start for Alfredo Aceves, but Aceves is being bumped back because of a sore groin. Aceves is not going on the disabled list, but he's getting a few extra days as a precaution. He did not say when he is now scheduled to start, only that he believes he will be making his first Triple-A start at home. My guess is it will come either Monday or Tuesday.
Jones is 8-3 with a 2.45 ERA in 15 starts for AA Trenton. In 91.2 IP, he's allowed 90 hits, 29 walks, while striking out 53. Opposing batters are hitting .262 against him.
As for Aceves, doesn't sound like there's anything to worry about here. Apparently the injury occured soon after he arrived in Scranton, but I watched him sprinting in the outfield yesterday and there's no way the Yankees would have added him to the Triple-A roster today if the injury were serious. He said his groin got a little sore and the Yankees didn't want to take any chances.
I wouldn't worry too much about this injury either.
