Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Hits first career homer in loss
Rotowire
Jackson went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Astros.
Jackson launched a 439-foot blast in the fourth inning before adding an RBI single in the eighth. The 25-year-old has made an immediate impact with the Orioles, slashing .339/.361/.492 with five extra-base hits, nine RBI and eight runs across 61 plate appearances while starting 15 of 20 games since his debut Aug. 1.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Scores three times in win
Rotowire
Jackson went 3-for-5 with three runs in Sunday's 12-0 win over the Astros.
Though the Orioles got some reinforcement in the outfield Sunday with the return of Colton Cowser (concussion) from the 7-day injured list, Jackson ended up sticking in the lineup over Dylan Carlson. While making his fourth start in five games, Jackson finished second on the team in hits and is now batting .333 through his first 13 games with Baltimore. The Orioles are likely to prioritize playing time for Cowser and prospect Dylan Beavers over Jackson, the 25-year-old could continue to poach work from Carlson at the other spot in the outfield if he's able to remain hot at the plate. Both Jackson and Carlson could see their opportunities decline when or if Tyler O'Neill (wrist) returns from the IL, however.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Nabbing third straight start
Rotowire
Jackson will start in right field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Jackson has been put to work since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, as he'll pick up his third consecutive start Sunday. The 25-year-old has produced three base knocks in his first six at-bats with Baltimore, but he's nonetheless expected to see his playing time take a hit once Tyler O'Neill moves past an illness and Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) is activated from the injured list, which could happen later this week.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Recalled by Baltimore
Rotowire
Jackson was recalled by the Orioles on Thursday.
Jackson had a brief stint with the Orioles in late July, but he did not make an appearance. Given the departures along the Orioles' infield at the trade deadline, Jackson should have the chance to make his big-league debut as a utility player.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Back in minors
Rotowire
The Orioles optioned Jackson to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
Jackson will end up back in the minors after spending just 24 hours with the big-league club. The 25-year-old will keep his spot on the 40-man roster, however, and he could return to Baltimore later in the year if he continues to hit the ball well at Norfolk. Yaramil Hiraldo was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Heads to Baltimore
Rotowire
The Orioles selected the contract of Jackson from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Jackson takes the spot on the MLB roster vacated by Gregory Soto after he was traded to the Mets earlier Friday. Jackson started the season in Double-A but was promoted to Triple-A last month. He's slashed .377/.398/.682 with 11 home runs, 22 RBI, 28 runs scored and eight stolen bases since the promotion. Jackson is still waiting to make his MLB debut.

Mets' Jeremiah Jackson: Acquired for Leone
Rotowire
The Mets acquired Jackson from the Angels on Tuesday in exchange for Dominic Leone, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Jackson represents a nice return for a rental reliever, as the infielder was a second-round selection in the 2018 MLB First-Year Player Draft and had posted a .768 OPS with 15 home runs and 21 steals through 82 games this season at Double-A Rocket City. The 23-year-old infielder will presumably join up with the Double-A affiliate of the Mets in Binghamton.

Angels' Jeremiah Jackson: Returns to action at Double-A
Rotowire
Jackson has gone 1-for-7 with a double, a walk and two RBI in two games since Double-A Rocket City reinstated him from the temporary inactive list Tuesday.
Jackson was out of commission for about two weeks while he was on the inactive list, but the missed time shouldn't hinder his development in any significant way.

Angels' Jeremiah Jackson: Inactive at Double-A
Rotowire
Double-A Rocket City placed Jackson on its temporary inactive list last Tuesday.
Jackson was deactivated after he went 0-for-12 with eight strikeouts through his first three games at Rocket City, so it's possible he was sent to the Angels' extended spring training facility in Arizona to address his swing mechanics. The 23-year-old has mainly served as a middle infielder during his minor-league career, but he played exclusively at third base and in center field at Double-A this season before being deactivated.

Jackson spent all of last season with Double-A Rocket City, slashing .215/.308/.404 with 44 RBI across 351 plate appearances. The 22-year-old infield prospect will most likely return to Double-A to begin 2023.

Angels' Jeremiah Jackson: Returning to action in AFL
Rotowire
The Angels announced Wednesday that Jackson (quadriceps) will be included on their Arizona Fall League roster, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Jackson strained his quad in late June and was shut down for about 10 weeks before he returned to action in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League in early September. After completing a six-game rehab assignment in the ACL, Jackson returned from the injured list to rejoin Low-A Inland Empire, finishing the campaign with a .263 average, eight home runs and 11 steals in 45 games with the affiliate. Jackson still only picked up just over 200 plate appearances on the season on account of the injury, so the stint in the AFL will allow him to pick up some extra reps while also giving him the chance to take at-bats against higher-caliber competition.

Angels' Jeremiah Jackson: Heading to big-league camp
Rotowire
Jackson earned an invitation to major-league spring training Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Jackson will get the chance to work out with the Angels' big-league coaching staff, but he's highly unlikely to be auditioning for a roster spot. He has the skills necessary to one day be a power-hitting infielder and could even stick at shortstop, but he's a very long way from making good on that potential, as he's yet to play above the rookie-ball level.

Jackson will report to the team's alternate training site in Long Beach, CA. With no minor-league games this season, he'll get the chance to continue his development in the best available environment, though he's highly unlikely to make his debut this season, as he's yet to play above rookie ball.
