Jackson (2-0) allowed a run on one hit and struck out one in one inning, but he earned the win Saturday over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander gave up a game-tying solo home run to Martin Maldonado in the sixth inning, but San Francisco retook the lead in its half of the frame. Jackson has given up a run in each of his last two appearances, but he'd pitched six consecutive scoreless innings prior to that. For the year, he has a 2.35 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB with two holds and a blown save in eight outings. He figures to remain in a low-leverage role with Jake McGee and Tyler Rogers locked in as the late-inning options for manager Gabe Kapler.

Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Friday's game against the Cardinals, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson signed a minor-league deal with San Francisco in March. He'll join the big-league roster after posting an impressive 18:1 K:BB across 11 scoreless innings with Sacramento. The right-hander last pitched in the majors with the Brewers in 2019, where he posted a 4.45 ERA and 47:18 K:BB across 30.1 innings.

The Giants reassigned Jackson to their minor-league camp Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Of the 17 non-roster invitees the Giants cut from big-league camp, Jackson was one of only three who had logged prior service time in the majors. Jackson showed an ability to make bats miss over his 28 appearances with the Brewers in 2019 (13.9 K/9 in 30.1 innings), but poor command and control likely prevented him from getting a look in the big leagues in 2020, when he was a member of the Reds organization.

Jackson signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old began the 2020 campaign in Japan but returned to affiliated ball with the Reds in August on a minor-league deal. Jackson last appeared in the majors with the Brewers in 2019 and posted a 4.45 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 47:18 K:BB over 30.1 innings.

Jackson has signed a contract with the Chiba Lotte Marines of the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson appeared in 28 games for the Brewers a season ago, finishing with a 4.45 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with a 47:18 K:BB over 30.1 frames. A return to Major League Baseball can't be ruled out at this point, though he'll likely need to show improvement overseas to earn a big-league contract.

Jackson elected free agency Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson pitched in the big leagues in 2019 for the first time in four years, recording a 4.45 ERA in 30.1 innings. His 35.6 percent strikeout rate will likely generate some interest this offseason despite the fact that he just turned 32, though it came with a 13.6 percent walk rate.

Jackson tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Monday's victory over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson allowed two hits and two walks while covering parts of two frames, but he managed to keep the opponent off the scoreboard, and picked up his first hold of the season in the process. Monday's outing was a snap shot of Jackson's latest big-league stint, which dates back to Aug. 18: since that date he has allowed 10 hits and walked five batters over 10.1 frames, but he has allowed just four earned runs (3.48 ERA), thanks mainly to a stellar 16 strikeouts.

Jackson was recalled from Triple-A San Antonio prior to Sunday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers used 10 pitchers in Saturday's 14-inning win against the Nationals, so they needed reinforcements. Jackson should work in low-to-mid-leverage situations.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A San Antonio on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He had been pitching fairly well, striking out 10 and allowing one run over his last 5.2 innings, but the Brewers wanted a fresh arm for the pen after Jackson was used in Friday's game. Aaron Wilkerson was recalled in a corresponding move.
