With Eric O'Flaherty landing on the disabled list, the Braves replenished their bullpen depth by bringing up Jackson. The 25-year-old Jackson has made just three appearances with the big league club this season, all of them coming in mid-April. He notched a 6.35 ERA with a 1.71 WHIP at Triple-A Gwinnett across seven appearances. Jackson figures to assume a low leverage middle relief role while he's up with the Braves.
