Jackson is a very intriguing prospect for the Yankees.
He will turn 23 in October.

Here’s what people were saying about the injury:
@ChrisCoop_: “It’s laughable how unfortunate the Yankees organizational injury luck is this season…from A ball to MLB. Far too many of the Yankees top 30 guys have gotten injured this season. And even with that considered, I’d still say the farm has been a resounding success for most of this season, especially on the position player front in the lower levels of the system. From UDFAs to lower profile DSL guys to guys who struggled last season and before who are now breaking out, a lot of good still shining through the system despite the injuries.”
@williegandalf: “This is almost too far removed from the normal range of injuries to expect in a season. Starting to ask questions about org conditioning.”
Yankees Right Now
The Yankees will get the day off on Monday before a series with the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday in Maryland.
They are the second-place team in the American League East with a 69-55 record in 124 games.
