New York Mets outfielder Austin Jackson (rest) and infielder Wilmer Flores (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. It appears both players are just getting a routine off day on Friday. Brandon Nimmo will lead off and play center field, while Dominic Smith will play first base and bat sixth versus righty Aaron Nola. Smith can be avoided in fantasy leagues and DFS contests. Nimmo could be an interesting DFS option because he's leading off. Nola has pitched excellent this season, so Nimmo isn't expected to hit phenomenally well off Nola.
New York Mets outfielder Austin Jackson will move up to third in the batting order and play center field versus righty Aaron Nola. Jackson has collected six hits over his last three games, so the Mets will attempt to ride his hot bat. However, Nola has been excellent this season, so Jackson is a risky DFS option even when he's batting in a favorable part of the order.
Free-agent outfielder Austin Jackson has reached an agreement with the New York Mets. There is multiple reports that the deal is going to be a major league deal. The Mets have three outfielders currently sidelined, so Jackson should provide some much needed depth. Jackson is hitting .242/.309/.295 through 59 games this season. He's only worth a look in NL-only leagues.
The San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox are interested in free-agent outfielder Austin Jackson. The Giants recently traded Jackson to the Rangers in a salary dump. He'd have a better shot at playing time back in San Francisco, where he hit .242 with ho homers and 13 RBI in 149 at-bats earlier this year. He's well off the fantasy radar right now.
Veteran outfielder Austin Jackson has officially been released by the Texas Rangers. Jackson was expected to be released after being traded by the Giants to Texas in a salary dump move. Jackson was hitting .242/.309/.295 with 13 runs knocked in over 59 games with the Giants this season. He performed fantastic with the Indians in 2017, but was unable to hit the same with San Francisco. There is a chance he lands elsewhere, but it most likely be a bench spot with little playing time. Depending on his playing time, he could become a fantasy option, but belongs on the waiver wire right now.
Texas Rangers outfielder Austin Jackson was officially released by the Rangers on Saturday. Jackson, who was designated for assignment Wednesday, will now look to try and restart his career elsewhere in the major leagues. Jackson never played for the Rangers following a trade which brought him over from the San Francisco Giants. In 59 games this season, Jackson has a .242 batting average with zero home runs and two steals. Even if Jackson signs with another team, it seems highly unlikely that he will be a fantasy relevant outfielder at any point this season.
Texas Rangers outfielder Austin Jackson will be put on release waivers on Saturday. A-Jax was recently traded over from the Giants, but he won't even play for the Rangers. He was hitting just .242 with no home runs, 13 RBI and two steals for the Giants in 59 games this season and is well off the fantasy radar. He's unlikely to emerge as a fantasy option for another team this year.
The Texas Rangers have designated outfielder Austin Jackson for assignment after recently acquiring him from the San Francisco Giants. Jackson will likely pass through waivers as he is still owed $4.5 million for the season. It's unknown if a team is willing to take a chance on him. The Rangers have yet to announce a corresponding move.
San Francisco Giants former outfielder Austin Jackson was traded Sunday morning along with Cory Gearrin to the Texas Rangers, however the GM Jon Daniels has reportedly told Jackson that there wouldn't be much playing time for him in Texas and that they play on moving him to another team. The Rangers have told Jackson to "hold off on reporting to club". So, now Austin Jackson is technically on the Rangers but is not going to be joining the team and is waiting to be traded again. Regardless of where Jackson ends up, he won't be fantasy relevant as he is batting .242 with a .604 OPS on the year and will not land a starting job anywhere.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Jackson will bat seventh on Monday. Jackson has hit in the No. 1 most of this season, but is struggling with his bat this season. Second baseman Joe Panik will bat first tonight. Panik has seen the ball well this year and there is a chance that he could remain at the top of the Giants order.
