Jackson Returns to Twins Roster | MLB News

About this episode

Alex Jackson’s big league ride may be over for now, but his Twins future is far from done. After going unclaimed on waivers and choosing to stay with the organization instead of becoming a free agent, Jackson returns to Triple-A St. Paul — where he’s still hitting with power and defense. Once seen as a potential regular after being picked up last offseason, his path was derailed by new ownership and the arrival of Victor Caratini. Still, he earned nearly 90 days of MLB service time this season, including a solid stint in May when Ryan Jeffers went down — batting over .300 thanks to a high BABIP (not sustainable). His strikeout rate remains high, and walks are rare, but his glove and occasional homers keep him relevant. With Austin Martin sidelined on the injured list, Jackson gets a spot back on the 40-man roster — not as a starter, but as organizational insurance. The Twins may have moved on, but Jackson’s story isn’t over — it’s just taking a detour.
