Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was sent to Sacramento on Thursday, but he finds himself back on the big-league roster just a day later with Jake McGee (oblique) moving to the injured list. The right-hander has posted a respectable 3.92 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB across 20.2 big-league innings.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was called up Friday, and he made two appearances during his time with the major-league club. The right-hander allowed two hits and a walk in three scoreless innings, but he'll head back to the minors after left-hander Sammy Long was recalled Thursday.

The Giants recalled Jackson from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The righty allowed three runs in five appearances during his most recent big-league stint, raising his ERA to 4.58 in 17.2 total innings this season. Jackson temporarily fills the bullpen spot of Jose Quintana, whom was placed on the paternity list Friday.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson made five appearances after he was recalled in late August, and he allowed three runs in three innings. He'll head back to Triple-A Sacramento to make room in the Giants' bullpen for Kervin Castro, who will be available to make his major-league debut.

Jackson (2-1) lost Saturday's 6-1 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing three runs on one hit and two walks with one strikeout in one-third of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first career start, Jackson surrendered a leadoff homer and two walks while recording only one out before being removed. Both walks eventually came around to score and the 33-year-old eventually took the loss after San Francisco was unable to recover from the 3-0 deficit. While Jackson was never going to pitch deep into Saturday's game, manager Gabe Kapler expected more than one out and the righty most likely won't be utilized as an opener moving forward following the poor outing.

Jackson will start Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will mark the journeyman's first time taking the ball to start a big-league game. It will not be a traditional start, however; Jackson has not thrown more than two innings in an appearance this season. Sammy Long is a candidate to work multiple innings out of the bullpen behind Jackson.

The Giants recalled Jackson from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was eligible to return to the Giants less than a week after being demoted since Evan Longoria (hand) was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list in a corresponding move. Over his 15 appearances out of the big-league bullpen this season, Jackson has posted a 3.68 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB in 14.2 innings.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has a 3.68 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB over 14.2 innings for the Giants this season, but he'll now head back to the minors. The veteran right-hander is a strong bet to rejoin the big-league club at some point down the stretch.

The Giants reinstated Jackson from the COVID-19-related injured list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was deactivated Saturday after experiencing side effects related to his COVID-19 vaccine shot, but he's apparently feeling good heading into Sunday's series finale with the Rockies. The hard-throwing right-hander should be available out of the bullpen.

Jackson landed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday while dealing with the side effects of his vaccine shot, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given the reason for the move, it's likely Jackson won't wind up missing more than a day or two. The transaction clears space for the Giants to call up Sammy Long, who will start Saturday against the Rockies.
