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.

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.

Picks up sixth save Jackson earned a save against the Angels on Wednesday, retiring all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.

Impact Jackson made quick work of Los Angeles to protect a two-run lead in the ninth frame, as he needed just six pitches to get through the inning. The right-hander was rewarded with his sixth save of the campaign, though this was his first save (and first save opportunity) since April 5. Jackson is tied for third in MLB in saves on the season, and since giving up three runs in his season debut March 27, the right-hander hasn't surrendered any runs over his subsequent eight outings covering 7.2 frames.

Closes out another game Jackson allowed one hit across a scoreless ninth inning to record the save Saturday against the Rays.

Impact Jackson was called upon to maintain a two-run lead, and he did so comfortably. The only hit he allowed was an infield single with two outs, and he has now successfully converted five consecutive save chances. Jackson has also maintained a 5:2 K:BB across 5.1 frames on the season.

Notches fourth save Jackson struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his fourth save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Rays.

Impact The 33-year-old righty has only delivered double-digit saves once before in his career, when he racked up 18 for Atlanta in 2019, but Jackson is well on his way to topping that total in 2025. He's converted four straight save chances to begin the campaign while posting a 5:2 K:BB in 4.1 innings, although a shaky performance in a non-save situation on Opening Day still has him saddled with a 6.23 ERA. The Rangers have other ninth-inning options if he falters, but for now Jackson appears to be following the trail blazed by Kirby Yates in last year's bullpen.
