Solid in second spot start Jameson did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks. He struck out three.

Impact Jameson continues to provide valuable innings on the mound splitting time as a spot starter and relief pitcher. The 25-year-old has acquired two impressive wins and a save on the season, posting a 2.25 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 16 innings. While he did not factor into this decision, Jameson limited the Cardinals' batters to two runs on four hits before being relieved in the third, as the game transitioned into a pitchers relay. He will likely get another spot start in the upcoming series with San Diego while Zack Davies (oblique) remains sidelined.

May get multiple starts Jameson may make multiple starts as a fill-in for Zach Davies, whose oblique strain is expected to take "several weeks" to heal, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Arizona manager Torey Lovullo described Davies' injury as "more than a (Grade) 1." A Grade 1 strain is the least severe. Jameson excelled in his first start as a replacement, shutting down the Brewers over four scoreless innings last Wednesday. His next expected start is Tuesday in St. Louis. Jameson pitched as a starter in spring training -- eventually losing out on the No. 5 job to Ryne Nelson -- and should easily build up higher pitch counts and get deeper into games.

Stellar in spot start Jameson did not factor into the decision Wednesday, tossing four scoreless innings on three hits and zero walks during a 7-3 win over Milwaukee. He struck out four.

Impact Jameson was filling in for Zach Davies, who was recently placed on the 15-day injured list, and despite looking sharp through four innings, he was pulled after just 54 pitches. The second-year right-hander would be an intriguing streaming option while Davies is out, but given his current limitations, he doesn't have enough upside to warrant a roster move in standard leagues. He's tentatively scheduled to pitch again versus St. Louis next week.

Starting Wednesday vs. Brewers Jameson will start Wednesday against the Brewers, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Impact Jameson is moving into the rotation to replace Zach Davies after Davies was placed on the 15-day injured list with his oblique strain. The right-hander has registered a 2.16 ERA and whiffed eight hitters in his 8.1 innings of work. There are some talented arms in the Arizona system who could replace Jameson if he struggles early -- namely top prospect Brandon Pfaadt -- but it seems likely that he'll be given a few turns in the rotation to begin the year.

Impact Jameson has been effective out of the bullpen for the Diamondbacks thus far with a 2.16 ERA and 8:5 K:BB over 8.1 innings in three appearances. The right-hander has worked at least two innings in each of his outings -- four against the Dodgers on March 31 -- and he should be stretched out after competing for the fifth starter spot in the Cactus League. If Jameson pitches well over his first few outings he has a good chance to stay in the rotation even after Davies is ready to return.

Thriving in bullpen Jameson (2-0) allowed one walk while striking out one over 2.1 scoreless relief innings to pick up the win in Friday's 6-3 victory over the Dodgers.

Impact Jameson, who lost out on the fifth starter job in spring training, has thrived as a reliever. In three appearances, the right-hander has earned two wins and save while never pitching fewer than two innings. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo appears to have made a shrewd decision in moving him to the 'pen in a multi-inning role instead of having him start in the minors. The dark lining to this silver cloud are the two home runs and five walks allowed along with a .158 BABIP, which project a 6.23 FIP. Fortunately for Jameson, both homers were solo shots and the free passes have not hurt.

Earns two-inning save Jameson picked up the save Tuesday against San Diego. He allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two over two innings.

Impact He lost the battle for the final rotation spot to Ryne Nelson, but Jameson is having a great opening week regardless as he grabbed his first win of 2023 on Friday and now has his first career save to go with it. The back end of the Arizona bullpen has been shaky early on and Jameson, a top 10 prospect in the organization, could quickly emerge as a go-to option in high leverage. He could also stretch back out into a starter's role at some point.

Notches win in relief Jameson (1-0) picked up the win in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Dodgers, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over four innings of relief. He struck out five.

Impact Merrill Kelly got the start but lasted only 3.2 innings and 74 pitches, forcing the Diamondbacks to turn to their bullpen early. Jameson stepped up with an impressive performance in long relief, firing 38 of his 66 pitches for strikes with 13 swinging strikes. The 25-year-old will continue in his bullpen role for now, but if a spot opens up in the rotation, expect him to get first crack at filling it.

Opening season in bullpen Jameson will begin the 2023 campaign working out of the bullpen after Ryne Nelson was named Arizona's No. 5 starter Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Neither pitcher performed particularly well during spring training with ERAs above 7.00, but it'll be Nelson that receives the first crack at the rotation in 2023. Jameson was lights out in his first taste of the majors last year with a 1.48 ERA and 24:7 K:BB across 24.1 innings (four starts).

Fans seven Thursday Jameson allowed four runs on four hits and four walks while striking out seven over 4.1 innings in Thursday's split-squad start against the Dodgers.

Impact Jameson gave up three runs in the first inning, then got a ton of run support -- 10, in fact -- during the bottom half of the inning. He settled in after that, although he dealt with base runners in four of the five innings he worked. Jameson's competition for the No. 5 starter job, Ryne Nelson, pitched in the other split-squad game and allowed three runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Cubs. Neither pitcher has a statistical advantage in the job battle, which looks like it will go down to the wire.

Rainouts force schedule change Jameson threw in a minor-league game Friday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Jameson was one of several pitchers affected by the two-game rainout Wednesday and was adjusted to throw Friday. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Jameson showed excellent velocity on his fastball, which touched triple digits. The manager also said nothing should be read into the fact that he didn't pitch in a Cactus League game. Jameson is one of four starters still competing for the final spot in the rotation.

Works three-plus innings Jameson allowed five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four over three-plus innings in Sunday's spring start against the Rockies.

Impact Jameson allowed a pair of home runs in his fourth Cactus League start. The right-hander got off to a good start this spring in his quest to claim the No. 5 starter job, but has been knocked around his last two times out. Jameson allowed eight runs and 11 hits over the last 5.2 innings. His main competition for the job, Ryne Nelson, appeared as a reliever Sunday and faired better (one run, four hits, 2.2 IP).

Impact Jameson was worked by the Royals in the first couple of innings Monday, before manager Torey Lovullo removed him from the game with two outs in second frame. The manager brought Jameson back in for the third inning, and the right-hander was dialed in with the help of his changeup. The manager believes he was sharp but made mistakes on 0-2 pitches that hurt. Jameson pitched well in his first two Cactus League starts and is considered the frontrunner for the final rotation spot.

Impact Jameson turned a few heads in his brief major-league stint last season, posting a 1.48 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through 24.1 frames in four starts.

The 25-year-old right-hander pitched to 1.48 ERA over 24.1 innings and threw at least six innings in three of his four starts.

Impact Jameson's biggest mistake came on a solo home run from third baseman J.D. Davis with two outs in the sixth inning to cut Arizona's lead to 3-2. This was just the fourth major-league start of the 25-year-old's career, and he has allowed two runs or fewer in all four with three of them being quality starts.

Tosses 5.1 scoreless innings Jameson did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing no runs on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings against the Giants. He struck out five.

Impact Jameson continued his strong start to his big-league career, as he did not allow a run for the second time in three starts. The rookie showed poise on the mound as the scoreless outing came despite being forced into the stretch in each of the six innings he appeared in. Jameson was hit hard in Triple-A to the tune of a 6.95 ERA through 114 innings this season, so he will be worth keeping an eye on to see if his breakout is for real.
