Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson spent two weeks in the minors and struck out five in three scoreless innings over three relief appearances across that span. However, he'll rejoin the major-league club to provide bullpen depth after Jackson Stephens (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was called up by Atlanta on Thursday, but he didn't make his season debut during his brief stint in the majors. He'll head back to the minors as part of a move to make room for a pair of starting pitchers for Saturday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old was up with the big-league club for one day last week and will return to the majors Thursday with Max Fried (concussion) headed to the injured list. Jackson had a 3.74 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB across 21.2 innings for the Giants last year, but he's yet to make his season debut in 2022.

Atlanta optioned Jackson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson's stay on the 26-man active roster lasted less than 24 hours, as he was sent back to Gwinnett immediately after he was recalled ahead of Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies. He went unused out of the bullpen in the loss and is still waiting to make his 2022 debut with Atlanta.

Atlanta recalled Jackson from Triple-A Gwinnett prior to Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
He'll be joining the big-league bullpen for the first time this season after opening the campaign on the 60-day injured list before being optioned to Gwinnett on July 2 when he was activated. Jackson posted a 1.80 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB in 10 innings out of the bullpen at Triple-A prior to his promotion.

Atlanta reinstated Jackson (lat) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Touki Toussaint was designated for assignment to make room for Jackson on the 40-man roster. Jackson will essentially continue his rehab at Triple-A for a while longer after he missed the first three months of the season with a right lat strain. It would seem Atlanta expects him to contribute at the major-league level in the second half.

Atlanta transferred Jackson's (lat) rehab assignment Tuesday from the rookie-level Florida Complex League to Triple-A Gwinnett.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson heads to Gwinnett after he worked two innings between two appearances in the FCL on Thursday and Monday, with the right-hander giving up two runs (one earned) on one hit and no walks while striking out one. Since he's been on the shelf all season with a right lat strain, Jackson will likely make multiple appearances at Gwinnett before Atlanta considers activating him from the 60-day injured list.

Jackson (lat) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Atlanta's rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson is ready for his first game action of the season after Atlanta placed him on the 60-day injured list coming out of spring training due to a right lat strain. Atlanta has the luxury of keeping Jackson on the rehab assignment for up to 30 days, but because he projects to work as a one- or a two-inning reliever once activated from the IL, he may not need the full window of time in the minors to build up.

Atlanta placed Jackson on the 60-day injured list March 19 with a right lat strain.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction opened up a roster spot for reliever Kenley Jansen, who inked a one-year, $16 million deal with Atlanta. Jackson, whom Atlanta acquired from San Francisco in November, recorded a 3.74 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 21.2 innings with the Giants in 2021.

Jackson was sent from San Francisco to Atlanta in exchange for cash or a player to be named later Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson recorded a 3.74 ERA in 21.2 innings for the Giants last season, with his 31.1 percent strikeout rate largely offsetting a high 13.3 percent walk rate and a low 27.1 percent groundball rate. He shouldn't be pitching in high-leverage situations, but he could fill a middle-relief role in Atlanta as long as he doesn't regress too much in his age-34 season.
