Happy Sixth of July! Hopefully you all had a great holiday weekend of grilling, shooting off fireworks and watching baseball.Just before the Fourth of July weekend, Team USA released their final roster for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. There were quite a few recognizable names on the roster, like veterans Todd Frazier, Edwin Jackson and Scott Kazmir, as well as top prospects like Shane Baz and Triston Casas. But among the names left off were Jarren Duran and Matthew Liberatore both of whom were ...

The Arizona Diamondbacks have released more than 60 minor league players over the last couple of weeks amid the coronavirus pandemic, with veteran right-handed pitcher Edwin Jackson and outfielder Travis Snider among them. Some of the other names include outfielder Dalton Pompey and pitchers Aaron Blair, Mauricio Cabrera, Damien Magnifico, Michael Tonkin and David Huff. Jackson, 36, had a rough 9.58 ERA in 67 2/3 innings with the Blue Jays and Tigers in 2019. But he was a key piece of ...

The Arizona Diamondbacks signed outfielder Jon Jay and pitcher Edwin Jackson to minor league deals on Monday. Jay will make $1.5 million if he's on the major league roster with another $1.75 million in incentives, according to USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale. The 34-year-old (35 in March) played in just 47 games for the White Sox last year due to injuries, and he hit a weak .267/.311/.315 with no homers and nine RBI. Jay will compete for a reserve outfield spot and probably won't have any fantasy ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Edwin Jackson will draw the start versus the Kansas City Royals on Friday. Jackson posted an 11.12 ERA in eight games (five starts) with the Blue Jays earlier this season. The veteran righty is not worth streaming on Friday, even against the not great Royals offense. He should be avoided in all fantasy formats.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Edwin Jackson has been released by the organization on Saturday. The veteran pitcher struggled with the Jays and was designated for assignment on Tuesday. He passed through waivers unclaimed and the Jays opted to let him go rather than have him pitch in the minors. Jackson had an 11.12 ERA in eight games with the Jays. This was his 14th major league team, but it's unclear if he'll get another chance at a major league roster.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Edwin Jackson has been designated for assignment prior to Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. Jackson posted three scoreless innings in Monday's 10-8 loss, allowing three hits, a walk and striking out two batters. Overall the experienced 35-year-old recorded just one win, five losses and an ugly 11.12 ERA over 28 1/3 innings as a member of the Blue Jays rotation and bullpen. A corresponding move has not been announced yet, while Jackson should be avoided in ev[...]

Believe it or not, the midpoint of the minor league baseball season is here. [...]

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Edwin Jackson (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The veteran righty has been getting crushed lately, so this is probably a good move. Jacob Waguespack is expected to draw the start against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Jackson belongs on the waiver wire in all leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays starter Edwin Jackson allowed seven runs on six hits in 2/3 of an inning during a 10-5 rout at the hands of the Los Angeles Angels. Derek Law opened the game for the Jays and tossed a scoreless first inning, but things fell apart once Jackson entered the contest. The veteran right-hander now owns a 1-5 record on the season to go along with a ridiculous 12.43 ERA and 2.29 WHIP. Avoid Jackson at all costs any time he takes the mound this season.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Edwin Jackson allowed two runs on four hits through five innings of work during an 8-6 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Jackson walked two batters while striking out two. The embattled starter has posted a 1-4 record on the season to go along with a 10.22 ERA, 2.03 WHIP, and 17/10 K/BB rate. Jackson's era of fantasy consideration is long over.
