2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jackson is a journeyman who has pitched for six teams and two leagues (two stints in Japan) in the past six years. He finally found some stability in the majors last season with Toronto where he had a decent 23.3% K% and 7.8% BB% in 29.2 innings. Despite a 2.12 ERA he was left off the playoff roster for the Blue Jays. The Twins apparently believed in his success because he signed a major league deal. He'll compete for a spot in the bullpen this spring. Read Past Outlooks
Cut by Twins
The Twins released Jackson on Thursday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, but rather than keeping him on the minor-league staff, the team will now cut ties with the 36-year-old reliever. In 26.1 innings with Minnesota this season, he posted a 7.52 ERA and 1.41 WHIP alongside a 29:9 K:BB. He'll now attempt to latch on with another club -- most likely on a minor-league deal.

Jackson latched on with the Brewers prior to the 2019 season after spending three campaigns in the Japan Central League with the Hiroshima Carp, posting a 2.10 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 9.8 K/9 across 175 appearances. After opening the season with Triple-A San Antonio, the right-hander was promoted near the end of April, marking his first time back in the majors since debuting with the Padres in 2015. Jackson struggled in his first stint with the Brewers, allowing five runs in 2.1 innings, but fared much better after returning following the All-Star break, posting a 3.21 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB across his final 28 innings. Jackson proved he has impressive strikeout stuff (13.9 K/9 and 18.1% swinging strike rate), though he'll likely need to cut down on the walks (5.3 BB/9) and home runs (1.8 HR/9) if he wants to work his way into a higher-leverage relief role in 2020.
