Jackson has electric stuff, and opened the year as a top-200 prospect for dynasty leagues, but he was quickly converted to a reliever as his command failed him. He could eventually find himself in high-leverage spots, but that probably won't happen until 2016 at the earliest. |

Jackson will join Anthony Bass in coming up from Triple-A, and both players will be available out of the pen Friday in Seattle. The 23-year-old Jackson has never appeared in a major league game, and he holds a 4.05 ERA in 33 appearances at Round Rock. The number is a major improvement from the ugly 10.35 ERA he posted in 40.0 Triple-A innings in 2014. |

Jackson has been converted to a reliever at Triple-A Round Rock and has a 2.66 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 32 strikeouts in 23.2 innings out of the bullpen. |
It just wasn't working out for him as a starter, as he posted a 5.64 ERA in five starts at the outset of the season. This may actually end up making him somewhat interesting in fantasy, as he was losing his luster as a starting pitching prospect. His 32:13 K:BB ratio in 23.2 innings shows the kind of bat-missing stuff he brings to the table as a reliever, indicating that he could someday be used in high-leverage situations at the big league level. |
