"Blue Jays' Jackson admits to tipping pitches to Aaron Judge, fueling rivalry"

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jay Jackson believes he was tipping his pitches when New York Yankees' Aaron Judge homered against him on Monday night. Jackson thinks a Yankees coach saw which grip he was using while holding the ball in his glove and relayed the information to Judge, helping him hit a 462ft home run. There is no prohibition on teammates or coaches using the naked eye to study pitchers and relay that info to batters. Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, and Toronto recalled right-hander Thomas Hatch from the Bisons.

Pitching Controversies Surrounding Aaron Judge and the Yankees.

Blue Jays pitcher Jay Jackson admits to tipping his pitches against Yankees star Aaron Judge, who hit a 462-foot home run off him. Judge's sideways glance towards the Yankees' dugout before the homer led to speculation that he was receiving signals, but Jackson explained that he was tipping his pitches by taking less time on fastballs than on sliders. The Blue Jays did not buy Judge's explanation and raised the topic of Yankees coaches' positioning during the game. The Yankees won the game 6-3, with Judge hitting another home run.

Blue Jays Make Roster Moves Ahead of Opening Day

The Toronto Blue Jays released right-hander Jay Jackson from his minor league deal with the team. Jackson, a veteran of four MLB seasons and four seasons pitching in Nippon Professional Baseball, had a clause in his deal requiring the Jays to release him if he wasn't going to make the Major League roster. Despite interest from five other teams, Jackson could not find a spot on the Jays' bullpen, which is already full of established relief options.
