Sun Sep 4 201118:24X-rays on Jackson's knee are negative
X-rays on Conor Jackson's right knee came back negative.
Jackson left Sunday's game with a bruised right knee, though he exited holding his left arm, after he ran full-speed into the right-field wall. In addition to the knee injury, he also has a sore right wrist, forearm and ribs. "I think the worse is probably the knee," Jackson said. "It's still banged up. After a few days of treatment, it will be all right." Darnell McDonald replaced him on Sunday. Jackson will probably need a few days rest.

Thu Sep 1 201100:32Red Sox acquire Conor Jackson in waiver deal
Red Sox acquired OF Conor Jackson from the Athletics for RHP Jason Rice.
Jackson, 29, has hit .249/.315/.342 with four home runs and 38 RBI in 102 games this season. The Red Sox will use the utilityman infrequently, but he bolsters their bench with a bit more quality depth. Rice has a decent fastball and has enjoyed some success this year at the Triple-A level, but he'll have to develop a quality secondary pitch to make it as a major league reliever.

Sun Jun 26 201115:55Conor Jackson has three-hit day
Conor Jackson went 3-for-4 with a double in Oakland's loss to the Phillies on Sunday.
The A's could muster just eight total hits as Roy Halladay went the distance for Philadelphia, so Jackson's day was an impressive one. He had been just one for his past 12 coming into today, however. He hasn't exactly taken Oakland's first base job and ran with it since Daric Barton was sent to the minors.
