Luke Jackson - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Picks up win Tuesday Jackson (1-0) allowed a hit and struck out three in a scoreless inning to earn the win in Tuesday's 11-3 victory over the Cardinals.

Impact Starter Alex Cobb went just four innings, with Jackson pitching the fifth before Keaton Winn converted a four-inning save. Jackson has done well so far, allowing one run, four hits and a walk with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings since returning from Tommy John surgery. The Giants' late-inning mix is pretty much set, but the right-hander could work his way into some opportunities for holds if he continues to pitch well.

Returning from 60-day IL San Francisco activated Jackson (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Jackson is nearly 14 months removed from Tommy John surgery and will join the Giants' bullpen for Tuesday night's game against the visiting Pirates. He allowed four earned runs over 5.1 innings on a six-appearance minor-league rehab assignment and figures to be eased in as a lower-leverage option initially.

Could return this week Jackson (elbow) could be activated from the injured list this week, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact Jackson holds a 6.75 ERA and 8:4 K:BB over 5.1 innings on his rehab assignment as he nears the end of his long road back from Tommy John surgery. The reliever has pitched three of the last five days and says he feels good, but he'd like to refine his control a bit so it sounds like he could make at least one more rehab appearance. Jackson hasn't appeared in the majors since 2021.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pitching again Saturday Jackson (elbow) will pitch again Saturday in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Sacramento.

Impact Jackson has made two relief appearances thus far in his rehab assignment while not allowing a run with two strikeouts over two innings. The right-hander is making steady progress after missing all of 2022 while recovering from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery. The Giants will likely want to see Jackson work in back-to-back games before he returns, but he could be a late-inning option for the club before the month of May ends.

Moves rehab to Triple-A Jackson (elbow) moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Jackson threw a scoreless inning in his rehab debut Sunday at Single-A San Jose and should be ready to join the Giants' bullpen once he successfully logs back-to-back outings at Triple-A. The 31-year-old reliever is now more than 13 months removed from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning rehab assignment Jackson (elbow) is beginning a rehab assignment with Low-A San Jose on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Jackson is eligible to come off the 60-day injured list on May 29, and it sounds like the right-hander just might be able to do just that. The right-hander is recovering from the Tommy John reconstructive surgery he underwent in February of 2022, and he could be a late-innings option for the San Francisco bullpen in the coming weeks.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Transferred to 60-day IL Jackson (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Jackson is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery, and the move confirms he won't be ready to go for at least two months. His former spot on the 40-man roster will go to Bryce Johnson, whose contract was selected in a corresponding move.

APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opens season on IL The Giants placed Jackson (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Jackson is just under a year removed from getting Tommy John surgery, and though he has since resumed throwing bullpen sessions and could soon be ready to face hitters, he's most likely at least a month away from heading out on what will presumably be a prolonged rehab assignment. Whenever the Giants determine Jackson is ready to return from the IL, he'll likely be ticketed for a middle-innings role, at least early on.

Throwing bullpen sessions Jackson (elbow) threw his third bullpen session of the spring Wednesday, Evan Webeck of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Jackson is almost 11 months removed from Tommy John surgery and seems to be trending well in his recovery. As long as there are no setbacks along the way, the 31-year-old right-hander should be an option for the Giants' bullpen around late May or early June. He inked a two-year, $11.5 million deal with San Francisco in January.

Joins San Fran on two-year pact Jackson (elbow) signed a two-year, $11.5 million contract with the Giants on Monday.

Impact Per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Jackson will take home $9.5 million between the first two years of his contract, which also includes a $7 million club option or $2 million buyout for the 2025 season. After undergoing Tommy John surgery this past April, Jackson will be a candidate to open the upcoming season on the 60-day injured list, but he should be at close to full health by around the All-Star break, if not sooner. The 31-year-old handled a pivotal role out of the bullpen for Atlanta's World Series-winning club in 2021, turning in a 1.98 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 70:29 K:BB across 63.2 frames while notching a career-high 31 holds.

Throwing again Jackson (elbow) revealed Wednesday via his personal Twitter account that he resumed throwing for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery April 13.

Impact Jackson will likely be limited to playing catch while gradually extending his throwing distance off flat ground, but he could be ready to resume mound work at some point later this winter. He'll still face restrictions at the start of spring training, but he could avoid a stint on the 60-day injured list to begin the 2023 campaign if his team confident he's far enough along in his recovery to return at some point in the first two months of the season. Jackson will first look to secure a contract with Atlanta or another squad, as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent this winter.
