Edwin Jackson does not have any lingering effects after leaving Thursday's start with cramping in his right hand. He'll be fine for his next scheduled outing on Tuesday against the Rockies. Jackson has posted an ugly 5.68 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 21 starts this season.

Edwin Jackson left Thursday's start against the Padres in the sixth inning with cramping in his right hand. Jackson allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk before leaving and was already at 87 pitches, so he wasn't going to be in for much longer, anyway. He should be fine for his next outing.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Cubs are "trying to trade" Edwin Jackson. It won't be easy, as Jackson has posted a 5.22 ERA over 51 starts for the Cubs and is due about $26 million through the 2016 season. However, the right-hander is durable and has flashed upside in the past, so it's possible the Cubs might find a taker as long as they're willing to eat most of the contract. The Yankees have been mentioned as possible suitors of Jackson, though that might change now that they've acquired Chris Capuano.

According to Gordon Wittenmeyer of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Yankees could be interested in acquiring Edwin Jackson. While Jackson is still owed roughly $26 million through the end of the 2016 season, the Yankees are desperate for rotation help and could certainly use another arm that's capable of eating innings. He owns a 5.61 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 100/49 K/BB ratio over 110 2/3 innings on the year.

Edwin Jackson was shelled for nine earned runs in 3 2/3 innings Saturday as the Cubs lost to the Braves. E-Jax was dreadful, yielding seven hits -- including three home runs -- while walking four Atlanta hitters. He's now by far the highest-paid player on the Cubs and simply hasn't lived up to his $11 million salary, now with a 5.64 ERA and 1.58 WHIP on the season.

Edwin Jackson got a no-decision, allowing one run over six innings in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox. Jackson was actually quite lucky to only give up the one run, as he allowed six hits and walked four while only striking out three. The Cubs weren't able to give him any run support in his quest for his sixth win. Jackson did get his ERA under 5.00, though, as it's now at 4.99 along with a 1.53 WHIP and a 88/43 K/BB ratio. He'll face the Reds on the road in his next start.

Edwin Jackson fell to 5-8, allowing four runs over 5 1/3 innings in Wednesday's loss to the Reds. Jackson held the Reds to one run over his first five innings, but he relented in the sixth, allowing a walk, a single, and two doubles in a three-run inning. Overall, Jackson yielded six hits while walking four and striking out two. The inconsistent right-hander will take the hill in next week's road start against the Red Sox with a 5.22 ERA, a 1.52 WHIP, and an 85/39 K/BB ratio.

Edwin Jackson allowed three runs in five innings Friday in a win over the Pirates. His only mistake was a three-run homer to Jordy Mercer in the fifth inning. Jackson struck out eight and walked two en route to improving to 5-7 on the year. He'll bring a 5.12 ERA into a start against the Reds next week at home and remains an inconsistent option in fantasy leagues.
