ALEX JACKSON NEWS

Moves to Miami Jackson was traded from Atlanta to Miami on Friday in exchange for Adam Duvall, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Impact Jackson has appeared in a handful of games in each of the past three seasons but owns a .070/.200/.093 slash line in 50 trips to the plate. He'll likely be higher on the organizational depth chart in Miami than he was in Atlanta, but he's unlikely to develop into an impact player.

Activated and optioned Atlanta reinstated Jackson (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Impact Though Travis d'Arnaud (thumb) is expected to remain sidelined through mid-August, Jackson wasn't needed to provide catching depth at the big-league level with Atlanta having acquired a pair of veteran backstops (Stephen Vogt and Kevan Smith) while the 25-year-old was on the shelf. Jackson will likely share time behind the plate at Gwinnett with William Contreras, who was demoted shortly before the All-Star break after struggling at the dish during his time as Atlanta's No. 1 catcher. Jackson enjoyed a productive rehab assignment at Triple-A, going 17-for-60 (.283 average) with four home runs, seven doubles and 15 RBI in 14 games.

Begins rehab assignment Jackson (hamstring/finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jackson was on a rehab assignment earlier in the month while recovering from a left hamstring strain, but he suffered an injury to his pinkie finger that forced him to pause his activities. The catcher was transferred to the 60-day IL and isn't eligible to return until this weekend, but he'll resume his rehab assignment Wednesday and could be back with the major-league club in the near future.

Transferred to 60-day IL Jackson (hamstring/finger) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jackson has been out with a hamstring injury since the beginning of May, but he recently suffered a finger injury during his rehab assignment and hasn't appeared in a game since June 9. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action, but he'll be sidelined until early July following his move to the 60-day IL.
