Atlanta recalled Jackson from Triple-A Gwinnett prior to Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
He'll be joining the big-league bullpen for the first time this season after opening the campaign on the 60-day injured list before being optioned to Gwinnett on July 2 when he was activated. Jackson posted a 1.80 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB in 10 innings out of the bullpen at Triple-A prior to his promotion.

Atlanta reinstated Jackson (lat) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Touki Toussaint was designated for assignment to make room for Jackson on the 40-man roster. Jackson will essentially continue his rehab at Triple-A for a while longer after he missed the first three months of the season with a right lat strain. It would seem Atlanta expects him to contribute at the major-league level in the second half.

Atlanta transferred Jackson's (lat) rehab assignment Tuesday from the rookie-level Florida Complex League to Triple-A Gwinnett.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson heads to Gwinnett after he worked two innings between two appearances in the FCL on Thursday and Monday, with the right-hander giving up two runs (one earned) on one hit and no walks while striking out one. Since he's been on the shelf all season with a right lat strain, Jackson will likely make multiple appearances at Gwinnett before Atlanta considers activating him from the 60-day injured list.

Jackson (lat) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Atlanta's rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson is ready for his first game action of the season after Atlanta placed him on the 60-day injured list coming out of spring training due to a right lat strain. Atlanta has the luxury of keeping Jackson on the rehab assignment for up to 30 days, but because he projects to work as a one- or a two-inning reliever once activated from the IL, he may not need the full window of time in the minors to build up.

Atlanta placed Jackson on the 60-day injured list March 19 with a right lat strain.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction opened up a roster spot for reliever Kenley Jansen, who inked a one-year, $16 million deal with Atlanta. Jackson, whom Atlanta acquired from San Francisco in November, recorded a 3.74 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 21.2 innings with the Giants in 2021.

Jackson was sent from San Francisco to Atlanta in exchange for cash or a player to be named later Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson recorded a 3.74 ERA in 21.2 innings for the Giants last season, with his 31.1 percent strikeout rate largely offsetting a high 13.3 percent walk rate and a low 27.1 percent groundball rate. He shouldn't be pitching in high-leverage situations, but he could fill a middle-relief role in Atlanta as long as he doesn't regress too much in his age-34 season.

Jackson's club option for 2022 was picked up by the Giants on Sunday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was shuffled between the majors and minors last year but will remain with the Giants in 2022. The right-hander recorded a 3.74 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 21.2 innings across 23 appearances (one start) in 2021.

Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was sent to Triple-A on Sept. 22 but will rejoin the Giants after spending the 10-day minimum in the minors. The 34-year-old has a 3.74 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 21.2 innings this season and has an outside chance at a spot on the postseason roster.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was promoted from Triple-A last week and has delivered a scoreless outing in 10 of his past 11 appearances. Overall he has a 3.74 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB in 21.2 innings this season and remains a strong candidate to rejoin the big-league club.
