Jackson was recalled by the Rangers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Derek Holland landing on the disabled list Wednesday, the Rangers opted to recall Jackson to take his spot on the active roster. Jackson had his struggles during his stint with the big league club earlier in the season, recording a 7.04 ERA over 7.2 innings of work. He'll likely work out of the pen, but the Rangers will have to make a roster move in the coming days when they need a starter to take Holland's spot in the rotation, so this could be a short stint for Jackson.

Jackson was optioned back to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Catcher Robinson Chirinos was activated from the disabled list Thursday, so Jackson will head to Triple-A to free up a spot on the 25-man roster. The right-hander has made five appearances for the Rangers on the season, allowing 11 hits and six earned runs over 7.2 innings. He's fared better at Round Rock, where he holds a 3.68 ERA and 1.36 WHIP.

Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Jeff Wilson of Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson received the promotion as Tom Wilhelmsen, who had given up three earned runs in each of his last two outings for the Rangers, was optioned. Jackson has been effective with Triple-A Round Rock so far in 2016 as he's only given up six earned runs over 14.2 innings as well as racking up 19 strikeouts during that time. He'll look to transition that type of production out of the bullpen for the Rangers as the 2016 season progresses.

Jackson (back) was activated from the 15-day DL and optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson has the prospect pedigree and stuff to someday feature near the back of a big league bullpen, but he has plenty of ironing out to do at Triple-A before he's ready for such a role. Look for him to make it back up to the big leagues sometime this summer, initially taking on some low-leverage innings.

Jackson (back) was sent to Triple-A Round Rock for a rehab assignment Saturday, Rangers' VP of communications John Blake reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson is still working back from a stress fracture in his back, but this is certainly a step in the right direction. It's unclear how long he'll remain on the DL, but he figures to make multiple appearances for Round Rock before a potential call up.

Jackson (back) was placed on the 15-day DL on Sunday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was hoping to win a bullpen role with the Rangers in spring training, but back problems never provided him much of an opportunity to make his mark. He'll likely continue to rehab at Triple-A Round Rock before the Rangers activate him from the DL.

Jackson (back) will throw an inning at Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander continues to work back from a back injury and figures to start the year on the DL, with the stint likely backdated. Jackson is slated to throw roughly 25 pitches in Sunday's game.

Jackson will pitch in a minor league game Thursday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Jeff Wilson reports.

EDGE Analysis

As he continues his rehab from a back injury in minor league camp, Jackson will be eligible to have a DL stint backdated so he can return to the Rangers' bullpen early in the season if he is cleared medically and there is a need. While he has solid stuff, the Rangers are loaded with quality high-leverage arms, so Jackson doesn't figure to bring much to the table from a fantasy perspective this year.

Jackson (back) could appears in a minor-league game later this week, MLB.com's T.R Sullivan reports.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

The action on Tuesday will be Jackson's first in over two weeks, but it remains to be seen how much action he'll get in exhibition games before beginning the season at Triple-A Round Rock.
