The Texas Rangers activated pitcher Jon Gray from the injured list and designated reliever Luke Jackson for assignment, as Gray returns from a forearm injury and Jackson's recent performance has been below average, with the team considering their next steps for Jackson within a five-day window.
The San Francisco Giants have made several roster moves, recalling outfielder Luis Matos and right-hander Kai-Wai Teng from Triple-A Sacramento. Teng is set to make his major league debut, filling in for the injured Luke Jackson. The 25-year-old Taiwanese pitcher has shown promise in the minor leagues, but also struggled with control issues. With Jackson on the injured list, Teng will likely take on a long relief role in the bullpen, providing valuable innings for the team.
The Twins' Royce Lewis suffered a quadriceps injury during the season-opener, adding to his history of frequent injuries, while Max Kepler had an injury scare with negative X-rays. Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez is expected to be out for about a month due to a lat strain, and the Dodgers received updates on pitchers Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw, who are ahead of schedule, but Brusdar Graterol and Blake Treinen are still a ways away from activation. Giants' Luke Jackson exited the game with a back injury and will undergo further evaluation after an MRI.
Reliever Luke Jackson had a successful debut for the San Francisco Giants, striking out two in a perfect seventh inning. Jackson, who had Tommy John surgery last year, signed a two-year contract with the Giants in the offseason. Meanwhile, outfielder Michael Conforto received good news from an MRI on his left foot, which showed no structural damage. He is listed as day-to-day with a heel bruise and is expected to avoid the injured list. The Giants lost 9-4 to the Pittsburgh Pirates, with pitcher Alex Wood giving up six earned runs.
The San Francisco Giants activated Mike Yastrzemski from the injured list, but lost Joc Pederson to the injured list due to a right hand contusion. Thairo Estrada is making his first career start at designated hitter in place of Pederson. The Giants are comfortable with Yastrzemski going full throttle in center field. Right-hander Luke Jackson is making progress in his rehab and could return by May 29. Darin Ruf, who was recently DFA'd by the Giants, signed with the Milwaukee Brewers.
The San Francisco Giants have activated Brandon Crawford from the injured list and optioned David Villar to Triple-A Sacramento. Luke Jackson is also beginning his rehab assignment. The Giants are walking a tightrope between rebuilding and developing, and Crawford's return will test his abilities as a 36-year-old middle infielder. The bullpen is still shaky, and the rotation is looking shaky due to Anthony DeSclafani's toe issue.
The San Francisco Giants have selected outfielder Bryce Johnson to the active roster and optioned Brett Wisely to Triple-A. The team transferred Luke Jackson to the 60-day IL to make room for Johnson on the 40-man roster. Johnson will provide some speed off the bench for the Giants, while Wisely will continue his development in the minors. Jackson is still rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and is not expected to return until May 31.
