The Blue Jays reinstated Jackson (personal) from the paternity list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson is one of two players the Blue Jays will bring back from the paternity list coming out of the All-Star break, as outfielder George Springer is also set to rejoin the team after welcoming the birth of his child. The Blue Jays optioned right-hander Bowden Francis to Triple-A Buffalo to clear room on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Jackson.

Toronto recalled Jackson from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Jackson will give the Blue Jays an extra bullpen arm as starter Chris Bassitt heads out on paternity leave. He'll probably be sent back down when Bassitt returns next week, or when Zach Pop (hamstring) is activated from the IL.

Toronto recalled Jackson from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander will take the place of Zach Pop after Pop was placed on the 15-day injured list with a hamstring injury. Jackson wasn't particularly effective in Triple-A with a 5.91 ERA over 10.2 innings, but he did strike out 15 hitters in that timeframe. He'll be a low-leverage option to begin his time with the Blue Jays.

Jackson is expected to be recalled by the Blue Jays prior to Friday's game in Pittsburgh, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Jackson signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays on Wednesday and was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
According to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca, Jackson agreed to a split contract with Toronto that will pay him $1.4 million at the big-league level, but since he has a minor-league option remaining, the Blue Jays have the luxury of stashing him at Triple-A for the time being. Jackson has spent parts of four seasons in the majors and has accrued a 4.21 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 80:31 K:BB in 57.2 innings between stops with San Diego, Milwaukee, San Francisco and Atlanta.

Jackson agreed to a split major-league contract with the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old was released by Toronto over the weekend but is now back with the club on a split deal. Jackson allowed seven hits with a 13:2 K:BB across 9.1 scoreless frames during spring training, and he'll likely be near the top of the list of potential call-ups for the Blue Jays.
