Yields walk-off homer in blown save Jackson (0-4) blew the save in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat to the Yankees, allowing one run on two hits in the ninth inning.

Impact Jackson gave up a walk-off home run to Jasson Dominguez, taking his second blown save of the season. The veteran right-hander has worked as Texas' primary closer to open the campaign, but his 5.52 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB over 14.2 innings likely loosens his grip on the gig and leaves the door open the door for the likes of Shawn Armstrong, Robert Garcia and Jacob Webb to see additional save chances in the future. Jackson missed some time with a swollen hand recently, and he's yielded six runs across his last 5.2 innings.

Retakes mound Sunday Jackson (hand) issued a walk and struck out a batter in a scoreless inning during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Astros.

Impact After battling a swollen hand throughout the week after being hit by a comebacker May 12 against the Rockies, Jackson returned to the mound Sunday in a non-save situation. The right-hander didn't appear to have any lingering issues as he threw 10 of 15 pitches for strikes, and his average fastball velocity of 93.6 mph was only marginally lower than his season average. Shawn Armstrong picked up a pair of saves in his absence, but Jackson should reclaim primary closing duties now that he's healthy.

Hand still swollen Jackson's hand is still swollen but he was optimistic Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Jackson reportedly has a decent amount of strength and is squeezing a stress ball as he looks to avoid an IL stint after getting hit on the hand by a comebacker Monday. Jacob Webb got the save after Jackson exited, but Chris Martin or Robert Garcia could also be options to get saves while Jackson is unavailable.

X-rays return negative Manager Bruce Bochy stated X-rays on Jackson's right arm came back negative, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Bochy noted that there was a decent amount of swelling shortly after Jackson was struck by the comebacker during his appearance Monday against the Rockies, but despite negative X-rays, a trip to the injured list is still on the table. The club should have more information on the severity of the injury Tuesday, per McFarland.

Langford homer ends no-hit bid and gives Rangers 2-1 win over Colorado after Rockies fired manager

Wyatt Langford hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning for Texas to end a no-hit bid by the Colorado Rockies in their first game after manager Bud Black was fired

MAY 13, 2025 • Associated Press

Hit by comebacker Jackson was removed from Monday's game against the Rockies after being struck by a line drive, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Jackson entered the matchup in a save situation, but he was unable to record an out after a line drive off the bat of Ryan McMahon forced Jackson from the game. He appeared to get hit on his right arm and walked off the field following a brief conversation with the team trainer. The club should have another update on the closer's status after further evaluation.

Stuck with loss Jackson (0-3) took the loss in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to the Giants, allowing an unearned run on one hit while failing to record an out.

Impact Jackson entered in the ninth trying to preserve a 2-2 tie and send the game to extra innings. His outing lasted one pitch after Heliot Ramos reached on an infield single and then turned it into an inside-the-park-homerun after two throwing errors by the Rangers. It was the second loss for Jackson in his last three appearances, and he'll aim to bounce back with more successful outings during the Rangers' seven-game week.

Giants win wild walk-off vs. Rangers on Heliot Ramos' Little League homer

Bounces back with eighth save Jackson struck out one in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning to record his eighth save of the season in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

Impact Robert Garcia remained on the mound to begin the ninth inning and struck out Jung Hoo Lee handing the ball over to Jackson, who took care of right-handed batters Matt Chapman and Wilmer Flores. It was a nice bounce-back effort for Jackson after he blew his first save of the season Thursday, but it likely leaves him unavailable for Saturday if Texas has another late lead to protect. Through 10.2 innings on the year, Jackson sports a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB.

First blown save in second loss Jackson (0-2) was charged with the loss and a blown save in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics, giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk in one inning. He struck...

Impact Jackson entered the game with a runner on base in the eighth inning and put out Brent Rooker to protect a 3-2 lead, but trouble arose in the ninth frame. The first of his two runs allowed was unearned due to a Leody Taveras fielding error, but Jacob Wilson's walk-off single saddled Jackson with his first blown save of the year. The veteran right-hander has still converted seven of his eight save chances to go with a respectable 3.60 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB over 10 frames, so he figures to remain the favorite for ninth-inning work in Texas' bullpen for the time being despite Thursday's showing.

Collects seventh save Jackson worked a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his seventh save of the season in an 8-5 win over the A's.

Impact The veteran righty coaxed three groundballs out of the heart of the A's order to end the night. Jackson has reeled off nine straight scoreless appearances after a rough Opening Day, and on the season he's a perfect 7-for-7 in converting save chances with a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB in nine innings.
