Luke Jackson Fantasy Stats

Outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler and right-handed reliever Luke Jackson are not expected to report to the Atlanta Braves and be added to the roster ahead of Tuesday night's game against the hosting Milwaukee Brewers. The Braves acquired Soler and Jackson from the San Francisco Giants on Monday night in exchange for lefty reliever Tyler Matzek and third base prospect Sabin Ceballos. Soler and Jackson could join the Braves for their debuts in the series finale in Milwaukee on Wednesday. Both players are familiar with Atlanta after having already played for them. The 32-year-old Soler is having a disappointing 2024 season with just 12 home runs and 40 RBI in 341 at-bats after clubbing 36 long balls a year ago in Miami. Hopefully, the move back to Atlanta will spark his bat. Soler is expected to see most of his playing time in right field with the Braves.

The San Francisco Giants reinstated relief pitcher Luke Jackson from the paternity list on Thursday. Jackson wasn't available for the series this week against the San Diego Padres, but he'll be in the team's bullpen for the final series of the regular season against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers with nothing on the line for either club. In his first year in the Bay Area, the 32-year-old veteran right-hander has been solid for the Gigantes, going 2-2 with a 2.97 ERA (3.28 FIP), 1.23 WHIP, 15 walks and 43 strikeouts in 33 1/3 relief innings.

The San Francisco Giants recalled right-hander Sean Hjelle on Monday to take the roster spot of right-hander Luke Jackson, who was placed on the paternity list. Hjelle will bolster the bullpen for the Giants while Jackson is away from the team. Hjelle has made 13 appearances in 2023, posting a 2-1 record and an 8.10 ERA across 23 1/3 innings of work. Jackson should be back with the Giants by the end of the week.

San Francisco Giants reliever Luke Jackson (back) landed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. After facing only one batter, the right-hander was removed from Saturday's meeting with the Diamondbacks because of lower back tightness. Jackson, who signed a two-year, $11.5 million this offseason, has appeared in just nine games this season. However, he's been decent during those appearances, sporting a 2.16 ERA with 10 strikeouts. But considering his history of injuries, fantasy managers may have finally run out of patience. In a corresponding move, Ross Stripling (back) was activated from the IL after dealing with a back injury of his own since mid-May.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Luke Jackson (elbow) missed all of last year while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery before signing a two-year deal with the Giants in January. He started a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A San Jose on May 14 and worked a scoreless inning while sitting at 95 mph with his fastball. Jackson moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Sacramento on May 17 and tossed two-thirds of an inning with two walks and a strikeout on May 21. The 31-year-old right-hander is scheduled to throw another rehab inning on Wednesday and will be eligible to return from the 60-day injured list as early as May 29. Jackson is getting close to making his 2023 debut as bullpen depth for the Gigantes.

The San Francisco Giants have signed right-handed relief pitcher Luke Jackson to a two-year deal, per a tweet from the team's official Twitter account. The deal is worth $11.5 million and includes a $7 million club option for 2025. The 31-year-old didn't pitch in the Majors in 2022 due to recovery from Tommy John surgery, but most recently appeared in 71 games for the Atlanta Braves during the 2021 season, logging a 1.98 ERA, a 3.66 FIP, and 70 strikeouts compared to 29 walks in 63.2 innings of work. He also added a pair of pitcher wins, and 31 holds in those 63.2 innings. As of now, San Francisco's late-inning bullpen options include Camilo Doval, John Brebbia, Tyler Rogers, and Taylor Rogers.

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Luke Jackson (elbow) wrote in his personal Twitter account that he threw for the first time in six months on Wednesday since having Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on April 13. Jackson is slowly working his way back from elbow reconstruction and is likely to be limited when spring training begins next year, but barring any setbacks, he should be able to return to Atlanta's bullpen at some point in 2023. The 31-year-old right-hander is also scheduled to become a free agent this winter, so he may have to prove his health first before another team invests in him. Jackson was excellent for the Braves last year, posting a 1.98 ERA (3.66 FIP), a 1.16 WHIP and 70 strikeouts in 63 2/3 innings pitched in the regular season.

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Luke Jackson (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday. The right-hander tore an ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. He will miss the entirety of the 2022 season. If his rehabilitation goes smoothly, he could be back in the majors at some point around the midpoint of the 2023 season. The 30-year-old was a strong bullpen arm for the Braves last year, pitching to a 1.98 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. He led all Braves pitchers with 31 holds last season.

The Atlanta Braves placed relief pitcher Luke Jackson (elbow) on the 60-day injured list with a torn right ulnar collateral ligament on Sunday. In corresponding moves, the Braves selected reliever Darren O'Day's contract and optioned left-hander Kyle Muller to Triple-A Gwinnett. Jackson, who was outstanding for the Braves in a setup role last year during the regular season, will likely need to undergo Tommy John surgery, which will keep him out for all of this year and likely the beginning of the 2023 season as well. The 30-year-old righty had a 1.98 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 70 strikeouts and 29 walks in 63 2/3 innings of relief over 71 outings last year.

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Luke Jackson (elbow) recently underwent an MRI exam that revealed damage to his ulnar collateral ligament in his right arm. Jackson is undergoing more evaluation to determine the next steps. The 30-year-old right-hander complained of forearm tightness this week, and he could be forced to miss significant time. UCL damage is often the precursor to Tommy John surgery, which would keep him out for all of this season and some of 2023 as well. Jackson had 18 saves for the Braves in 2019 and was outstanding in the regular season last year, posting a 1.98 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 70 strikeouts and 29 walks in 63 2/3 innings over 71 relief appearances for Atlanta. He's not a big fantasy guy as a setup man, but losing Jackson for a long period of time would be a blow to the Braves bullpen depth.
