Toronto recalled Jackson from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander will take the place of Zach Pop after Pop was placed on the 15-day injured list with a hamstring injury. Jackson wasn't particularly effective in Triple-A with a 5.91 ERA over 10.2 innings, but he did strike out 15 hitters in that timeframe. He'll be a low-leverage option to begin his time with the Blue Jays.

Jackson is expected to be recalled by the Blue Jays prior to Friday's game in Pittsburgh, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

He's likely in line to take Zach Pop's (hamstring) roster spot. Jackson, 35, holds a 5.91 ERA but a 15:2 K:BB over 10.2 innings this season at Triple-A Buffalo.

Jackson signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays on Wednesday and was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

According to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca, Jackson agreed to a split contract with Toronto that will pay him $1.4 million at the big-league level, but since he has a minor-league option remaining, the Blue Jays have the luxury of stashing him at Triple-A for the time being. Jackson has spent parts of four seasons in the majors and has accrued a 4.21 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 80:31 K:BB in 57.2 innings between stops with San Diego, Milwaukee, San Francisco and Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old was released by Toronto over the weekend but is now back with the club on a split deal. Jackson allowed seven hits with a 13:2 K:BB across 9.1 scoreless frames during spring training, and he'll likely be near the top of the list of potential call-ups for the Blue Jays.

Jackson was released by the Blue Jays on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson pitched well this spring with a 0.00 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over eight Grapefruit League appearances, but Toronto decided not to keep him around the organization. The 35-year-old is now free to sign with another club, and he likely will be looking at a minor-league deal at this stage of the year and his career.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sept. 21, but rather than remaining in the Atlanta organization heading into the spring, he'll try his luck on the open market. The 35-year-old right-hander owns a 4.21 ERA and 19.8 K-BB% across 57.2 career innings in the majors.
