Jackson retired from professional baseball Saturday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson tallied an MLB appearance in six of his 17 professional seasons, finishing his big-league career with a 4.43 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 113.2 total innings. His best year came in 2023, when he allowed just seven earned runs and registered a 27:9 K:BB across 29.2 innings with the Blue Jays.

Jackson signed a contract Friday with Mexican League club Bravos de Leon.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson had been a free agent since last July after being released by the Twins, but he'll head south of the border to continue his career in his age-37 season. Over his 20 relief appearances for Minnesota in 2024, Jackson turned in a 7.52 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 26.1 innings.

The Twins released Jackson on Thursday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, but rather than keeping him on the minor-league staff, the team will now cut ties with the 36-year-old reliever. In 26.1 innings with Minnesota, he posted a 7.52 ERA and 1.41 WHIP alongside a 29:9 K:BB. He'll now attempt to latch on with another club -- most likely on a minor-league deal.

The Twins outrighted Jackson to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson has now been moved off the Twins' 40-man roster on two occasions this season, but unless he elects free agency, he'll stick around in the organization as relief depth at Triple-A. Over 20 appearances out of the Minnesota bullpen this season, Jackson has posted a 7.52 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 26.1 innings.

The Twins designated Jackson for assignment Thursday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move comes shortly after Jackson allowed three runs in an inning of work during Thursday's loss to the Rays. Jackson cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment by the Twins last month, so he might wind up sticking around in the organization again. The club will announce a corresponding move prior to Friday's game in Oakland.

The Twins selected Jackson's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota cleared room for Jackson on the 26-man active roster by optioning right-hander Louie Varland to Triple-A and on the 40-man roster by designating right-hander Diego Castillo for assignment. The 36-year-old Jackson is joining the Twins for the second time this season after he was included on the Opening Day roster before he was DFA'd in May after turning in a 6.85 ERA over 22.1 innings. The veteran righty turned in three scoreless one-inning appearances for St. Paul to get the call back to Minnesota.

Jackson cleared waivers and reported to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was designated for assignment last weekend. Jackson, 36, has a career-worst 6.85 ERA in 22.1 innings with the Twins this season.

Jackson was designated for assignment by the Twins on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran reliever will be removed from the 40-man roster to free up space for right-hander Caleb Boushley, who was recalled by Minnesota in a corresponding move. Jackson will likely pitch for Minnesota's Triple-A affiliate in St. Paul if not picked up by another team.

Jackson allowed two hits with no walks while striking out two over two scoreless innings in Saturday's 16-5 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson has an impressive 17:5 K:BB ratio in 14.2 innings, but has given up three home runs helping result in a not-as-impressive 4.30 ERA. He's become a steady option as a setup man, but isn't being used in enough high-leverage spots to accumulate many holds or save chances.

Jackson signed a contract with the Twins on Sunday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was outrighted to Triple-A by the Blue Jays in early October and elected free agency in November. He was able to land a major-league contract with Minnesota just before the start of spring training and will now attempt to carve out a role in the Twins' bullpen. He's made appearances with San Francisco, Atlanta and Toronto over the past three seasons, posting a 2.73 ERA and 1.04 ERA in 52.2 innings over 50 outings.
