Edwin Jackson was a late addition when the Blue Jays purchased the veteran hurler from the Oakland Athletics a month earlier. The 35-year old has made five uninspiring starts north of the border surrendering 26 earned runs and eight home runs in just 19.2 innings of work.
One would have thought it was safe to assume Jackson’s days in a Blue Jays uniform were numbered. However, manager Charlie Montoyo confirmed Jackson would be the starter on Wednesday versus the Baltimore Orioles asserting “We don’t have anybody else.”
#BlueJays have decided to give Edwin Jackson another start in Baltimore.
