Jackson was traded from the Brewers to the Rays on Tuesday in exchange for Evan McKendry, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
A 27-year-old catcher who has settled in as an emergency option, at least while with the Brewers, Jackson has been at Triple-A Nashville all season and is slashing .286/.360/.554 with 12 home runs in 45 games. At this point, Jackson doesn't look to be much more than a Quad-A hitter who's capable of defending his position.

Jackson was reassigned Monday to minor-league camp, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson spent five games with the Brewers in 2022 and went 3-for-12 with seven strikeouts at the dish. He'll more than likely begin the 2023 campaign at Triple-A Nashville and serve as organizational depth in case either William Contreras or Victor Caratini goes down.

Jackson was sent outright to Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson will still be invited to spring training by Milwaukee, but he will now have to fight to reclaim his spot on the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old backstop spent most of last season in Triple-A, recording a .701 OPS through 119 plate appearances.

The Brewers reinstated Jackson (wrist) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction makes Jackson one of three catchers on the 40-man roster, joining Victor Caratini and Mario Feliciano. With Omar Narvaez ticketed for free agency, Milwaukee will likely look to re-sign him or add another experienced option behind the plate, so Jackson is far from a lock to break camp with Milwaukee in 2023. Before he was shut down in late August with left wrist inflammation, Jackson appeared in just five games for Milwaukee and instead saw most of his action at Triple-A Nashville, where he posted a .701 OPS over 119 plate appearances.

Jackson was placed on the 60-day injured list with left wrist inflammation Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson hasn't played at Triple-A Nashville since Aug. 11, and he'll be unavailable for the remainder of the minor-league season after landing on the 60-day IL. The 26-year-old slashed .225/.319/.382 with two home runs, a triple, eight doubles, 18 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base over 31 games at Nashville this year.

The Brewers reinstated Jackson (finger) from the 10-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Milwaukee already has three catchers on its 26-man active roster (Omar Narvaez, Victor Caratini and Pedro Severino), so Jackson won't join the big club even though he's made a full recovery from the left middle finger sprain that landed him on the IL on June 10. Jackson recently wrapped a five-game rehab assignment between the Brewers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate and Nashville, during which he went 3-for-9 with a double, five walks and a run scored.

Jackson (finger) began a rehab assignment Saturday with the Brewers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, going 1-for-1 with a double, a walk and a run.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson started at catcher but played only three innings before his day was done. He'll likely make several more starts behind the dish in the minors before the Brewers activate him from the 10-day injured list.

Jackson (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to June 7.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson is dealing with a left middle finger sprain and will now be inactive for about a week as he nurses the injury. Omar Narvaez was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday, making it likely that Jackson reports to Triple-A Nashville once healthy.

Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was optioned to Nashville at the beginning of May, but he'll serve as the No. 2 catcher behind Victor Caratini while Omar Narvaez is on the COVID-19 injured list. Jackson appeared in three games during his first stint with the major-league club, and he went 2-for-7 with four strikeouts.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Nashville after Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old served as Milwaukee's No. 2 catcher this week but will head back to the minors with Victor Caratini (undisclosed) back from the COVID-19 injured list. Jackson went 2-for-7 with four strikeouts during his brief stint in the majors.
