Jackson was released by the Blue Jays on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson pitched well this spring with a 0.00 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over eight Grapefruit League appearances, but Toronto decided not to keep him around the organization. The 35-year-old is now free to sign with another club, and he likely will be looking at a minor-league deal at this stage of the year and his career.

Jackson agreed to a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on Wednesday, which includes an invite to major-league spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson spent the 2022 campaign with Atlanta but appeared in just two big-league contests. He pitched well at the Triple-A level with a 2.29 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 25:4 K:BB across 19.2 innings after he sat out first couple months of the season with a lat strain.

Jackson elected free agency Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sept. 21, but rather than remaining in the Atlanta organization heading into the spring, he'll try his luck on the open market. The 35-year-old right-hander owns a 4.21 ERA and 19.8 K-BB% across 57.2 career innings in the majors.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in early September, and he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Ozzie Albies (foot) was reinstated from the 60-day IL. Since heading to the minors, Jackson has struck out two in two scoreless innings.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson joined Atlanta's bullpen last weekend and allowed a hit and no walks while striking out one in 1.1 innings over two appearances in the big leagues. However, he'll head back to the minors after Bryce Elder was called up to start Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson spent two weeks in the minors and struck out five in three scoreless innings over three relief appearances across that span. However, he'll rejoin the major-league club to provide bullpen depth after Jackson Stephens (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was called up by Atlanta on Thursday, but he didn't make his season debut during his brief stint in the majors. He'll head back to the minors as part of a move to make room for a pair of starting pitchers for Saturday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old was up with the big-league club for one day last week and will return to the majors Thursday with Max Fried (concussion) headed to the injured list. Jackson had a 3.74 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB across 21.2 innings for the Giants last year, but he's yet to make his season debut in 2022.

Atlanta optioned Jackson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson's stay on the 26-man active roster lasted less than 24 hours, as he was sent back to Gwinnett immediately after he was recalled ahead of Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies. He went unused out of the bullpen in the loss and is still waiting to make his 2022 debut with Atlanta.
