Austin Jackson (hamstring) is unlikely be activated from the disabled list when he's eligible Monday.

Jackson landed on the disabled list earlier this month with a strained left hamstring, but we haven't heard much about his progress. That's probably because there's little to update, as Chris Iott of MLive.com hears that he isn't currently doing any physical activity. Fantasy owners will have to hope that changes real soon.

Tigers placed OF Austin Jackson on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring.

Jackson is expected to need the full 15 days. Avisail Garcia was called up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding roster move and will get regular playing time in the Detroit outfield over the next two-plus weeks. Jackson was batting .272/.333/.371 with two homers, 11 RBI, five stolen bases and 33 runs scored in 34 games.

Austin Jackson is leading all of baseball with 28 runs scored this season.

The outfielder is hitting .293/.356/.407 with two homers and 10 RBI for the year, and he's swiped five bases. The steals in particular are nice after A-Jax fell off to 12 pilfers last season.

Jayson Werth is one productive player, and he's often being overlooked in fantasy baseball in 2013. Should you join the heard and ignore him, or should you buck that trend and target the Nationals' outfielder in your fantasy baseball draft? In 2008 Werth, while a member of the Phillies, went 20/20. In 2009 he was [...]

Austin Jackson struck out all three times up Monday against Marlins lefty Wade LeBlanc.

LeBlanc is hardly a big strikeout guy in the first place, and he doesn't even have the platoon advantage in this case. Jackson had cut down on the strikeouts early in the spring, but he's now fanned in five straight games, racking up a total of eight in 17 at-bats. His average is down to .241.
