Braves News: Luke Jackson injured, more roster cuts, and more

Not a great day for Braves news as we approach Opening Day.

The sad news of Saturday morning in Braves country is that Luke Jackson has UCL damage and is out for an undetermined amount of time as he undergoes a “comprehensive evaluation”. While Luke had been somewhat of a controversial figure among Braves country for years, he began to gain more general favor due to his quality pitching and friendly personality. UCL damage is often a precursor for Tommy John surgery, but obviously no treatment plan has been determined as of yet.
