He joins his Big League camp as an off-roster invitee.<\/p>\n<p>The 35-year-old has seen some big league action in four seasons, including each of the last two seasons. He was at the Braves&#8217; highest level last season, where he only pitched two and he scored 1\/3 of his frames scoreless. He spent his first few months with Latitude strain putting him out of action, and spent most of the year assigning options to Triple-A Gwinnett.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson pitched very well for the Stripers, allowing only 5 runs in 19 2\/3 innings. He struck out his 25 of his 80 batters he faced (31.3% clip) and only he walked 4. Despite that quality work, Jackson failed to earn a spot in the Atlanta bullpen, one of his deepest spots in the sport. The Braves made a full waiver in September and reached his agency minor league free at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>The veteran Hurler recorded more extensive MLB action for the Giants during the 2021 campaign. In his 23 appearances for San Francisco, he pitched 21 2\/3 innings and posted a 3.74 earned run average, while he struck out 31.1% of the batters he faced. Although he missed many bats, he suffered from erratic control and gave his passes free to opponents more than 13% of the time.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson will join the camp and vie for a spot in the Toronto bullpen that could have several openings in the midfield. <strong>Jordan Romano<\/strong>, <strong>Eric Swanson<\/strong>, <strong>Anthony Bass<\/strong>, <strong>Imi Garcia<\/strong> When <strong>Tim Mayza<\/strong> You have to reserve a spot. <strong>Adam Cimber<\/strong> And hurler without options <strong>Trevor Richards<\/strong> When <strong>Mitch White<\/strong> You can have an inside track with the rest of the job, but it doesn&#8217;t look solidly penciled in. Jackson himself has no minor league options. Rosters at any time.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/5067886\/300x250_2_MLB -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiXGh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm1sYnRyYWRlcnVtb3JzLmNvbS8yMDIzLzAxL2JsdWUtamF5cy1qYXktamFja3Nvbi1hZ3JlZS10by1taW5vci1sZWFndWUtZGVhbC5odG1s0gEA?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Blue Jays to get relief Jay Jackson Report Jon Heyman of the New York Post to a minor league contract (twitter link).
