2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jackson spent all 2023 in Triple-A, first with Triple-A Nashville, and then with Triple-A Durham after the Brewers exchanged minor leaguers with the Rays who sent Evan McKendry to the Milwaukee organization. Jackson has spent parts of four seasons in the majors, with his longest stint in 2021 when he posted an anemic .488 OPS in 52 games. Last season in 59 combined games, Jackson recorded a .902 OPS, which impressed the Rays enough to bring him back on a minor league deal. Jackson missed the final month of the season with a shoulder injury, but he's slated to challenge for a job behind the plate with the Rays. If he makes the club, Jackson is only in play in AL-only formats using two catchers, and even then, there are probably better options. Read Past Outlooks
Elects free agency
Jackson has elected free agency, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson initially remained in the Rays' organization after being outrighted off their 40-man roster last month, but he's now exercised his right to free agency. The catcher has a career .456 OPS over parts of five major-league seasons.

How does Alex Jackson compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2016
2015
Despite having just four games of big-league experience under his belt, Jackson got the Opening Day start behind the plate for Atlanta in 2020 with both Travis d'Arnaud and Tyler Flowers unavailable at the time. His stay with the major-league team did not last long and Jackson ended up logging just seven at-bats across four separate stints in the majors. He finally got on the board with his first two MLB hits and Jackson is still just 25 years old -- even if he feels like 35 after busting as the sixth overall pick by Seattle in 2014. He moved from the corner outfield back to catcher after a trade to Atlanta in 2016. He's not bad back there and right now he's in the running to be d'Arnaud's backup. The team will likely want to limit Jackson's exposure if he is on the roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return to Milwaukee
Jackson may be recalled to the Brewers to serve as backup catcher after Omar Narvaez was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The Brewers are in need of a backup catcher after announcing that Omar Narvaez has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list. Both Jackson and Mario Feliciano are on the 40-man roster and playing at Triple-A Nashville. Jackson has appeared in the big leagues in each of the last four seasons and played three games -- two starts -- for the Brewers earlier this season. Better known for his defense, the 26-year-old has hit an underwhelming .139/.244/.228 in 180 plate appearances at the major-league level.
