Reliever Notes: Jackson, Benoit, Smith

By Mark Polishuk | June 3, 2017 at 2:41pm CDT

The Orioles and Edwin Jackson have agreed to extend his opt-out date to Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports (Twitter links).  The veteran righty’s original opt-out date on his minor league deal was June 1, but Jackson will now have 24 hours after 11:59pm ET on Monday to decide on exercising his out clause.  The O’s will then have 48 hours to either add Jackson to their Major League roster or release him.  Though Jackson has spent the bulk of his 14-year MLB career as a starting pitcher, he has only started one of his 11 games for Triple-A Norfolk this season.  Jackson has a 3.26 ERA in 19 1/3 IP, though with some rather middling peripherals (7.0 K/9, 4.7 BB/9).  Pedro Alvarez also arranged a short extension his opt-out date, so it seems like the Orioles are still trying to buy themselves time to decide if or how some of their minor league veteran depth pieces can be retained.

Here’s some more on some bullpen arms…

  • The Phillies have placed right-hander Joaquin Benoit on the 10-day DL (retroactive to June 1) with a left knee sprain, the team announced.  Benoit has a 3.68 ERA over 22 innings for the Phils, though his advanced metrics (such as a .167 BABIP, 7.77 K/9 and 4.91 BB/9) indicate some good fortune.  He had a short-lived stint at Philadelphia’s closer after Jeanmar Gomez’s struggles and before Hector Neris ultimately took over the role.  The veteran Benoit signed a one-year, $7.5MM deal with the Phillies last winter and projects as a trade candidate this summer, provided he makes a successful return from injury.
  • Carson Smith is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this weekend and a live batting practice sometime this week in advance of a minor league rehab assignment, CSNNE.com’s Evan Drellich reports.  As Smith tells Drellich, June was the target date for Smith’s return from his Tommy John surgery over a year ago, and the right-hander seems to be on track to finally make his Red Sox debut.

    With all the pitching injuries around the league this year someone should take a flyer on Jackson .

      Edwin Jackson has played for over ten organizations. This guy has more lives than a cat and will surely disappoint his next team as well.

    Alvarez could be of some interest to a hitting needy team too.

    is it the birds or is it this site that has made me more aware of the nuance involved in creating a real team from nothing?

          He will pitch a little more this year but NOT much more. Smith has told reporters that he is “sick of the toxic clubhouse”. Hanley have him a hard time recently and nobody backed the DH, former whatever infielder.

          I don’t quite know why you make stuff like this up. Weird fake quotes; like the weird fake quotes you posted the other day about how Ramirez “didn’t even bring a glove” to spring training or whatever. We’re mostly just trying to talk about baseball here. Your nonsense fake quotes are just annoying and stupid.

    Hey MikeyYank a dork, the only thing toxic is you. I think you probably realize your team is about to begin their slide to the middle and maybe the bottom of the barrel. Toronto, the Rays, Orioles and Sox are all starting to play some ball. Toronto is 29-29 and in last place. Will MikeyYank a Dork need a tissue ???
    It’s pretty obvious the Red Sox 3 Championships since 2004 are still a problem for you. Maybe it’s a Boston thing with the Patriots, Sox, Bruins and Celtics in the last 16 years – 10 Championships
