Jackson is 0-1 with a 5.91 ERA, 15 strikeouts and two walks in 10.2 innings with Buffalo this yr.
Blue Jays reliever Zach Pop exited Thursday’s sport in opposition to the Boston Red Sox with proper hamstring discomfort and might be headed to the IL.
The native of Brampton, Ont. appeared to undergo the damage through the backside of the eighth inning and wanted assist to get off the sphere.
Pop pitched two-thirds of the eighth inning earlier than exiting, giving up two hits and three earned runs.
Pop has had his struggles lately, registering a 6.59 ERA over 13.2 innings pitched for the Blue Jays this season.
The Blue Jays bullpen has hit a rut through the present five-game shedding streak. The relievers even have had a heavy workload as all 5 Blue Jays starters couldn’t make it by means of six innings the final time by means of the rotation.
