June 24: Jackson pa sed through waivers unclaimed and has been a signed outright to Triple-A St. Paul, . As previously noted, hell have the right to reject that a signment but is extremely unlikely to do so, as that would require forfeiting the remaining $685K on this years salary and the $200K buyout on next years $3MM club option. June 20: The Twins are designating reliever for a signment, manager Rocco Baldelli told the teams beat after todays lo s to the Rays (relayed by Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune). Darren Wolfson of SKOR North reports ( ) that Minnesota will recall southpaw from Triple-A St. Paul to step into the bullpen. Minnesotas 40-man roster count drops to 39. Its the second time this season that Minnesota has taken Jackson off the roster. The Twins Hunter Feduccia Jersey designated him for a signment in May and succe sfully ran him through outright waivers. The righty accepted his a signment to St. Paul and pitched his way back to the big leagues a couple weeks later. Jackson had only made a trio of appearances in Triple-A, working three innings of one-run ball. He has pitched 20 times for Minnesota at the big league level. Despite decent strikeout and walk numbers, he has had a tough time keeping runs off the board. That continued this afternoon. Jackson allowed three runs on homers by and , stretching a one-run deficit into a 6-2 gap. Minnesota scored four in the bottom of the ninth to tie it but lost in the tenth inning. The longball has been Jacksons biggest concern. Hes up to seven homers surrendered acro s 26 1/3 innings. Thats the biggest reason he has been unable to strand many baserunners. After todays outing, he carries a 7.52 earned run average. Thats a sharp downturn from the excellent 2.12 ERA he posted in 29 2/3 frames for the Blue Jays a year ago. Jacksons strikeout and walk numbers are e sentially unchanged from his productive stint in Toronto, but his batted ball results have pushed him off the roster twice. It is likely that Minnesota will place the 36-year-old on waivers again in the next few days. Jackson could decline an outright a signment if he goes unclaimed, though doing so would require forfeiting what remains of this years $1.3MM salary and the $200K buyout on next years $3MM club option. He could wind up back in St. Paul as a result. Raul Mondesi Jersey
