The Dodgers announced they’ve designated right-hander Andre Jackson for assignment. His 40-man roster spot will go to righty Ryan Brasier, whose promotion was reported earlier. Left-hander Bryan Hudson was optioned to open a spot for Brasier on the active roster.
Jackson has spent his entire career in the L.A. organization. Originally selected in the 12th round of the 2017 draft, he made it onto the 40-man roster after the 2020 campaign. Jackson debuted the following summer and has bounced on and off the active roster for the past three seasons.
He’s worked in multi-inning relief at the big league level, tossing 39 frames over 14 outings. A personal-high 17 2/3 of those innings have come this season. Jackson has allowed 13 runs in that limited look, thanks largely to five homers. The longball has largely overshadowed a quality 16:3 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
A starter for the bulk of his minor league tenure, Jackson has also worked in long relief in Triple-A this season. He’s logged 27 2/3 innings across 11 outings, pitching to a 5.86 ERA in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. He has a quality 25.8% strikeout rate at the top minor league level, but he’s walked over 14% of batters faced there. Strike-throwing has been the question throughout his career, as Jackson has handed out free passes at a 12.7% clip over five minor league seasons.
The 6’3″ righty clearly has intriguing raw stuff, though. He’s punched out over a quarter of opponents in the minors. His fastball sat north of 95 MPH on average during his MLB time this season, while prospect evaluators have long praised his changeup. He seems likely to draw some interest via minor trade or on the waiver wire within the next week. Jackson is in his final minor league option season, so an acquiring team could keep him in Triple-A for the remainder of the year.
I’m sorry Ms. Jackson!
I am for real!
I apologize too, but Andre Jackson doesn’t need baseball. He is a natural born Vidal Sassoon model.
The posters on this site have to all be Olds. The jokes are horrible
Olds?
Maybe he meant Olds Eighty Eight.
A profile referencing Kevin Elster saying OutKast is old? Ms. Jackson came out the same month Elster retired. So, you have to be ancient.
You and your nickels can go back to the malt shop, grandpa.
Cohen’s: Are you every bit the ageist bigot scum that GhostOfKevinElster is?! That would be ironic.
Or am I misunderstanding?
No, you are not. I am just as much as an ageist piece of scum as the rest of me crew. We sail the seas pointing out the hypocrisy of people that complain about ageism. It’s perfectly fine to be ageist against young people legally, but not old? Oh and we plunder the the nickels from the elderly.
Does that make you feel better? Do you like playing the victim?
Stop being dramatic. The jokes are awful, and they are obviously done by people 45+ with no sense of humor.
Cohen: At least you recognize that you’re bigoted scum. It’s odd that you don’t care that that’s what you are, but I guess scum’s gotta scum.
And sassing about how others are playing the victim while YOU actually are doing just that is a nice (and expected) touch.
Anyway, how, I wonder, does my brilliant assessment of you get zero thumbs, but your garbage faggy reply gets two?! What a messed-up world.
Hahaha. Christ on cracker! I tossed you a like buddy, hope this helps heal your wounds.
“Faggy reply” I’m rolling dude. Did you type that while wearing your ill-fitting letterman jacket from the 70s?
Stop being a Sissy-Weirdo, Cohen.
Eff you, Ghost, you defaming malignant-narcissist bigot.
Why don’t you go ***k some ***k and practice your drag-queeniness.
Jazz, what would be the issue if I did do all that? I wouldn’t be breaking any laws or making your life harder in any way.
Cohen: Playing the victim?! I’m just calling you out for being a flaming bigot.
I’m probably younger than you.
P.S. I love that you logged into your other three accounts and gave yourself thumbs-ups.
KevinElster: That last…”word”…that you used is not a word, it’s a fabricated construct, designed to twist, manipulate, and stifle debate.
Stop being a rube, you lemming.
I’m sorry Kevin Elster, I never meant to make your daughter cry, I apologize a trillion times.
GhostOfKevinElster: Do you mean, as in, “GhostOfKevinElster is an ageist bigot” kind of Olds??
Brasier better put up a -0.79 FIP with a 14.5 K/9
DFAd for Ryan Brasier, that has to be a sign to retire
I thought it was Edwin Jackson for a hot second. Come back from the retirement home.
Shocked…and not.
I would think he’d be worth a flyer for a pitching short team?
Early ugly numbers notwithstanding, the kid will eventually be a good MLB pitcher. Somebody is going end up with a good one.
From tipping pitches to working for tips. Too soon.
