The Brewers recalled Jackson from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson will step in as the Brewers' No. 2 catcher behind Omar Narvaez after top backup Victor Caratini was placed on the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move. The righty-hitting Caratini had been occupying the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Narvaez, but it's not clear if the righty-hitting Jackson will be extended the same role or play only when Narvaez needs a breather behind the plate.

Jackson was acquired by the Brewers on Wednesday in exchange for infielder Hayden Cantrelle and pitcher Alexis Ramirez.
EDGE Analysis
Backup catcher Pedro Severino will miss 80 games after testing positive for a banned substance, so the Brewers traded for Victor Caratini and Jackson on Wednesday. Caratini will handle backup duties behind starter Omar Narvaez, while Jackson should head to Triple-A Nashville. Jackson had a .488 OPS in 52 games between Atlanta and Miami last year and could be called up by Milwaukee if Narvaez or Caratini suffer an injury.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson made three Grapefruit League appearances this spring and went 0-for-5 with a walk and a strikeout. Since Jackson and Nick Fortes were both sent down Saturday, it appears as though Payton Henry will begin the year as the primary backup at catcher.
