Jackson (elbow) will pitch again Saturday in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson has made two relief appearances thus far in his rehab assignment while not allowing a run with two strikeouts over two innings. The right-hander is making steady progress after missing all of 2022 while recovering from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery. The Giants will likely want to see Jackson work in back-to-back games before he returns, but he could be a late-inning option for the club before the month of May ends.

Jackson (elbow) moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson threw a scoreless inning in his rehab debut Sunday at Single-A San Jose and should be ready to join the Giants' bullpen once he successfully logs back-to-back outings at Triple-A. The 31-year-old reliever is now more than 13 months removed from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery.

Jackson (elbow) is beginning a rehab assignment with Single-A San Jose on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson is first eligible to come off the 60-day injured list May 29, and the right-hander may be ready to go by that point if he endures no setbacks during his rehab assignment. He's working his way back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last February and will presumably require several outings in the minors to build up his velocity and hone his command. Once activated, Jackson could emerge as a late-inning option out of the San Francisco bullpen.

Jackson (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery, and the move confirms he won't be ready to go for at least two months. His former spot on the 40-man roster will go to Bryce Johnson, whose contract was selected in a corresponding move.

The Giants placed Jackson (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson is just under a year removed from getting Tommy John surgery, and though he has since resumed throwing bullpen sessions and could soon be ready to face hitters, he's most likely at least a month away from heading out on what will presumably be a prolonged rehab assignment. Whenever the Giants determine Jackson is ready to return from the IL, he'll likely be ticketed for a middle-innings role, at least early on.

Jackson (elbow) threw his third bullpen session of the spring Wednesday, Evan Webeck of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson is almost 11 months removed from Tommy John surgery and seems to be trending well in his recovery. As long as there are no setbacks along the way, the 31-year-old right-hander should be an option for the Giants' bullpen around late May or early June. He inked a two-year, $11.5 million deal with San Francisco in January.

Jackson (elbow) signed a two-year, $11.5 million contract with the Giants on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Jackson will take home $9.5 million between the first two years of his contract, which also includes a $7 million club option or $2 million buyout for the 2025 season. After undergoing Tommy John surgery this past April, Jackson will be a candidate to open the upcoming season on the 60-day injured list, but he should be at close to full health by around the All-Star break, if not sooner. The 31-year-old handled a pivotal role out of the bullpen for Atlanta's World Series-winning club in 2021, turning in a 1.98 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 70:29 K:BB across 63.2 frames while notching a career-high 31 holds.

Jackson (elbow) revealed Wednesday via his personal Twitter account that he resumed throwing for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery April 13.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson will likely be limited to playing catch while gradually extending his throwing distance off flat ground, but he could be ready to resume mound work at some point later this winter. He'll still face restrictions at the start of spring training, but he could avoid a stint on the 60-day injured list to begin the 2023 campaign if his team confident he's far enough along in his recovery to return at some point in the first two months of the season. Jackson will first look to secure a contract with Atlanta or another squad, as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent this winter.

Jackson (elbow) will receive a $3.6 million contract for 2022 after losing his arbitration case with Atlanta on Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson suffered a torn UCL late in spring training and underwent Tommy John surgery in mid-April. The right-hander will miss the entire 2022 season and should also be unavailable early in 2023.

Atlanta announced Wednesday that Jackson underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday in Arlington, Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Tommy John surgery always appeared to be the likely outcome for Jackson after an MRI earlier this month revealed that he was dealing with UCL damage in his right elbow. Now that the procedure has been completed, Jackson will be sidelined for the entire 2022 season, and his recovery will likely extend into the early portion of the 2023 campaign as well.
