Brewers Select Jay Jackson, Option Mauricio Dubon

By Ty Bradley | July 13, 2019 at 3:44pm CDT

The Brewers have selected the contract of righty Jay Jackson from Triple-A San Antonio and optioned Mauricio Dubon to AAA, the team reports.

Jackson, 31, appeared poised for a middle-inning role after a dominant 2015 season for San Diego’s AAA-affiliate, but opted instead to pitch in Japan. He excelled there, too, posting back-to-back seasons of sub 2.03 ERAs for the Hiroshima Carp of Japan’s Central League.

In 35 2/3 innings for San Antonio this year, Jackson’s offered up a commanding 1.01 ERA/1.66 FIP on the back of unassailable peripherals marks: a 12.62 K/9 against just 2.02 BB/9, and not a single homer allowed in a league that’s seen its homer rate jump by as astounding 50.5% this season. The righty should insert himself into a high-leverage role straight away for a team that’s been surprisingly short on reliable late-inning options in ’19. Josh Hader has again been dominant, if homer-prone, but the rest of the club’s complement of ’pen arms – aside from perhaps Jeremy Jeffress – have been mediocre-to-shaky thus far in the campaign.

Dubon, acquired with Travis Shaw in the lopsided deal that sent reliever Tyler Thornburg to Boston, missed much of last season with a torn ACL. He’s rebounded nicely in ’19, though a .307/.343/.491 slash is good for only a 100 wRC+ in the unhinged offensive environment of the PCL.

    Dang it I dont understand why they just dont give him a fair shot at playing short. I mean I understand that they let him get his feet wet and hopefully the next time he is brought up it wont be so overwhelming. I just think that the Brewers could and should be more assertive in getting moved on from players who just arent working out for this run.

      I don’t think offense is their problem right now, they need pitching. They will need to trade someone maybe Arcia so that will open up a slot.

    Jackson’s AAA stats may look great, but he sure didn’t show much last time they called him up. Hopefully he’ll be better this time around.

    Small sample size (one game) but at least this time Jackson covered two innings without any further harm done. Reality is that the Brewers have one reliable closer who can pitch only every 2-3 days so they have nobody they can trust beyond Hader.
