Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Jackson will give the team another option in the outfield with David Peralta dealing with an injury. He likely won't see much playing time, but could serve as a pinch hitter off the bench and a spot starter in the outfield.

Jackson was traded to Arizona for minor league pitcher Blake Cooper, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Jackson will be sent to Triple-A Reno where he'll try to make a late-season promotion to the Diamondbacks happen. While the odds of him making much noise in the MLB this season are slim, he'll have an opportunity to claim a spot on Arizona's bench next year.

Jackson launched a three-run homer in the eighth inning and drove in the winning runs with a single in the ninth. The five-RBI day raised his spring runs batted in to seven, but the outfielder is batting just .231. He's nothing more than a reserve outfielder for the Cubs this year.

Brett Jackson is making a strong impression early in spring training, and he feels that his new swing is a major reason for his success.

After struggling to make consistent contact last season, Jackson worked hard over the offseason to completely overhaul his swing. He tallied three hits in an intersquad game on Friday, and is confident he'll keep rolling when the actual games begin. He's still slated to open the season at Triple-A Iowa, but he could force his way onto the Opening Day roster with an impressive spring.

Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Tuesday that Brett Jackson has completely overhauled his swing.

Jackson recently spent time with Sveum and and the Cubs hitting coaches in Mesa and has apparently made "huge strides." ƒ?oI think heƒ?Ts got a good base to work with going into the rest of the winter and going into Spring Training to understand the art of hitting, so to speak,ƒ?? said Sveum. ƒ?oSometimes it gets lost and taught the wrong way.ƒ??

Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein conceded that Jackson wasn't ready for the majors when he was promoted in August, and the outfielder went on to bat just .175/.303/.342 while striking out 59 times over 142 plate appearances. However, the team thought he would benefit from having to make adjustments at the big league-level, as well as taking tutelage from the coaching staff. The 24-year-old is still the center fielder of the future, but they're not ready to hand him the everyday job just yet. It's possible he could change their thinking if he mashes in spring training.

Jackson made an excellent running catch to rob Andrew McCutchen of extra bases to end the bottom of the sixth inning, but he then slammed right into the chain-link fence at full speed. He was on the ground for a couple moments while being examined by a team trainer, but managed to get to his feet and walk off the field under his own power. Tony Campana pinch-hit for him to begin the seventh. The exact nature of his injury isn't yet known, but he will likely be sent for concussion tests.
