Eligibility
Availability
The Yankees acquired Alex Jackson from the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson will add catching depth for the Yankees who sent Jose Trevino back to the Reds. He had signed a minor league deal this offseason with the Reds after struggling last season with the Rays.
The Rays have designated Alex Jackson for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson struggled this season, posting a .122 average in 58 games. Logan Driscoll will remain the backup catcher for the Rays moving forward.
Alex Jackson is in the starting lineup for the Rays Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson will start behind the plate and bat ninth against Arizona. He is hitting .118, with three home runs, and 12 RBI this season.
Alex Jackson went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Rays' 4-0 win over the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
His solo shot contributed to Tampa Bay's offense in a game where runs were at a premium. Despite this highlight, Jackson's season has been underwhelming, with a meager .108 batting average and a high strikeout rate of .366. His performance today, although a bright spot, does little to boost his fantasy relevance given his overall struggles at the plate this season. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as consistent production is unlikely based on his current metrics.
Alex Jackson went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, and three RBI in the Rays' 13-0 rout of the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
This performance marked a significant uptick for Jackson, who has struggled mightily this season with a meager .105 batting average. Despite his overall poor offensive output, this game could be a sign of turning things around, especially considering he managed to drive in three runs and score twice himself. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious; one game does not necessarily indicate a trend, and his season-long stats suggest a high risk for continued low production. Jackson's ability to contribute positively in sporadic bursts does offer some potential in very deep fantasy formats or two-catcher leagues, but he remains a risky play.
