Jackson (shoulder) will report Wednesday to Triple-A Gwinnett to begin a rehab assignment, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson has been sidelined for just over the minimum 10 days with the shoulder strain, so he may only need one tune-up appearance in the minors before the Braves likely activate him Sept. 1 when rosters expand. The right-hander, who carries a 4.65 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 40.2 innings with the big club this season, will likely work in middle relief once he rejoins the Braves.
