The Giants recalled Jackson from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was eligible to return to the Giants less than a week after being demoted since Evan Longoria (hand) was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list in a corresponding move. Over his 15 appearances out of the big-league bullpen this season, Jackson has posted a 3.68 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB in 14.2 innings.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson has a 3.68 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB over 14.2 innings for the Giants this season, but he'll now head back to the minors. The veteran right-hander is a strong bet to rejoin the big-league club at some point down the stretch.

The Giants reinstated Jackson from the COVID-19-related injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was deactivated Saturday after experiencing side effects related to his COVID-19 vaccine shot, but he's apparently feeling good heading into Sunday's series finale with the Rockies. The hard-throwing right-hander should be available out of the bullpen.

Jackson landed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday while dealing with the side effects of his vaccine shot, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given the reason for the move, it's likely Jackson won't wind up missing more than a day or two. The transaction clears space for the Giants to call up Sammy Long, who will start Saturday against the Rockies.

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 signed a minor-league deal with the Reds on Friday, John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old signed with the Chiba Lotte Mariners in Japan during December, but he'll return to affiliated ball with the Reds and report to the alternate training site. Jackson spent 2019 with the Brewers and had 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.
