Edwin Jackson

Marlins designate Edwin Jackson for assignment

The Miami Marlins designated pitcher Edwin Jackson for assignment.

What It Means:

The move clears a spot for Mike Dunn on the active roster. Jackson gets the boot after giving over six runs over his last two appearances.

Jackson has thrown just 10 2/3 innings this season and owns a 6.17 xFIP, in addition to a well below average strikeout percentage of 14.9. Our models currently project his replacement, Dunn, to record a 4.08 ERA and a 23.2 strikeout percentage in 35 innings pitched this season.
