Fri Sep 29 202312:17Luke Jackson Back From Paternity Leave
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.

Mon Sep 25 202321:42Sean Hjelle Recalled As Luke Jackson Lands On Paternity List
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.

Sun Jun 25 202316:15Luke Jackson Lands On 15-Day Injured List
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.

Tue May 23 202312:18Luke Jackson To Make Another Rehab Outing Wednesday
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.

Mon Jan 9 202314:18Giants Sign Luke Jackson
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.

Wed Oct 12 202218:23Luke Jackson Resumes Throwing
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.

Wed Apr 13 202216:38Luke Jackson Undergoes Tommy John Surgery
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.

Sun Apr 3 202210:47Luke Jackson Has Torn UCL
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.

Sat Apr 2 202211:43Luke Jackson Diagnosed With UCL Damage
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.

Thu Sep 16 202110:40Luke Jackson Placed On Paternity Leave, Chris Martin Activated
Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Luke Jackson has been placed on the paternity leave list on Thursday. He can be absent from the team up to three days, but often times players don't use that much time. In a corresponding move, right-hander Chris Martin (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. He missed each of the last two weeks due to shoulder inflammation. Martin has a 4.17 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 27/6 K/BB ratio in 36 2/3 innings this year. There isn't much fantasy value here, but the Braves are certainly happy to have a fresh arm in their bullpen.

Thu Jul 22 202122:52Braves beat Phillies 7-2, climb back into NL East race
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Dansby Swanson hit his first career grand slam, Orlando Arcia added a solo shot and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-2 on Thursday night to inch closer in the NL East race. Charlie Morton (9-4) allowed two earned runs over six innings and struck out eight in his latest strong start. With the victory, the Braves — winners of the last three NL East titles — closed within four games of the idle New York Mets and tied Philadelphia for second place at 47-48. Atlanta did most of its offensive damage against Phillies starter Matt Moore, who allowed six earned runs in six innings. Morton cruised for most of the night before stumbling a bit in the seventh when Didi Gregorius hit a leadoff triple and Odubel Herrera followed with an RBI double. Luke Jackson replaced Morton and got two outs before allowing Jean Segura’s RBI single. The Braves added a run in the ninth when Austin Riley drew a bases-loaded walk off Mauricio Llovera.

CHICAGO (AP) — Kyle Hendricks won his ninth straight decision, Patrick Wisdom hit a two-run homer and Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-5 on Friday afternoon. Kris Bryant drove in three runs with a pinch-hit double to start Chicago’s five-run burst in the seventh inning before Wisdom went deep against his former team. Joc Pederson doubled twice, including a three-run hit in the first. Chicago won for the second time in three games following an 11-game losing streak. Bryant didn’t start for a second straight game because of a strained right hamstring, but hit the first pitch he saw from Junior Fernández to the wall in left filed with the bases loaded. The All-Star came home when Wisdom connected for his 12th homer to make it 9-2. Hendricks (11-4) allowed two runs on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings while walking one and hitting a batter.
