The Giants released Jackson from his minor-league contract Aug. 23.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old utility infielder has now been cut loose by both organizations in the Bay Area this season, as Oakland previously released him in July. Jackson, who appeared in three games with the Athletics earlier this season as a COVID-19 replacement player, saw action exclusively at Triple-A Sacramento during his time in the Giants organization and batted .200 over 10 games.

Jackson signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Thursday, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports. He was assigned to Triple-A Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was released by the Athletics on July 29, but he found a new organization quickly. The infielder slashed .243/.353/.297 with Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his release, and he also made three plate appearances with the A's in the majors. He'll likely spend most of the rest of the season at Sacramento.

Jackson was released by the Athletics on Friday, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson had a brief stint with the major-league club in mid-April but spent most of his time at Triple-A Las Vegas. He hit .243 with a homer, 19 runs, 14 RBI and eight stolen bases over 50 minor-league games to begin the year and will now seek out other opportunities.

The Athletics activated Jackson (illness) from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday and returned him to Triple-A Las Vegas, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was called up from Las Vegas as a COVID-19 replacement before testing positive for the virus just over a week later. He's since cleared all COVID-19-related protocols, but with the Athletics' minor outbreak of the virus having been resolved, the journeyman infielder will head back to the minors. He'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster in the process.

Jackson's contract was selected by the Athletics on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson hasn't appeared in the majors since 2019, but he'll serve as infield depth during the Athletics' weekend road trip in Toronto. He'll presumably return to the minors once Oakland returns home Monday.

The Athletics reassigned Jackson to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he's in the lineup Monday for the Athletics' penultimate Cactus League game, Jackson ultimately didn't distinguish himself enough as a non-roster invitee to join the big club for Opening Day. Jackson will open the upcoming season in Las Vegas, hoping to play well enough to push his way to the big leagues for the first time since 2019, when he received a cup of coffee with the Orioles.

Jackson signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Dec. 3.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson will likely begin the 2022 campaign at Triple-A Las Vegas and will presumably serve as a utility man after he picked up starts at every position save for catcher and pitcher in 2021 while playing for the Mets' Triple-A affiliate in Syracuse. The 28-year-old, whose lone big-league action came in three games with the Orioles in 2019, slashed .251/.397/.416 with nine home runs and 24 stolen bases across 309 plate appearances for Syracuse last season.

Jackson cleared waivers and was returned to the Dodgers on Wednesday, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson cracked the Opening Day roster after being selected in the Rule 5 draft and went 0-for-3 with one walk before being designated for assignment by the Orioles. The 25-year-old slashed .251/.356/.447 with 15 home runs at Double-A Tulsa in 2018.

Jackson was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson made the team as a utility player after being taken in the Rule 5 draft, but he's received just four plate appearances so far this season. He'll be offered back to the Dodgers if he clears waivers. The move makes room for the newly-signed Dan Straily.
