Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jackson returns to the organization where he began his career in 2015. After spending two seasons in Arlington, he joined Atlanta where he enjoyed his greatest success, serving as closer for a lot of 2019, compiling 18 saves, nine holds and nine wins. Two years later, Jackson was the primary setup man, notching 31 holds, the second most in MLB that season. Jackson has always been able to miss bats with a 24.4 percent strikeout rate, and his 51 percent groundball rate limits homers. Walks have been the issue as shown by a 10 percent career walk rate. This spring, Jackson fanned nine while issuing just one free pass over six frames. It's a small sample, but it still garnered attention, landing Jackson in the late-inning mix. There isn't an established, clearcut closer in the Rangers bullpen, and Jackson has experienced success in high leverage scenarios in the past. If he can continue to limit walks, Jackson could return to past glory. Read Past Outlooks

Picks up sixth save
Jackson earned a save against the Angels on Wednesday, retiring all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.
ANALYSIS
Jackson made quick work of Los Angeles to protect a two-run lead in the ninth frame, as he needed just six pitches to get through the inning. The right-hander was rewarded with his sixth save of the campaign, though this was his first save (and first save opportunity) since April 5. Jackson is tied for third in MLB in saves on the season, and since giving up three runs in his season debut March 27, the right-hander hasn't surrendered any runs over his subsequent eight outings, covering 7.2 frames.

How does Luke Jackson compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

Relievers like Luke Jackson of the Rangers are making a strong early impression, but will he be able to keep the closer job all year?

Brad Johnson dives deep into some bullpens in flux, including in Detroit where injured closer Alex Lange needs to work on finding the strike zone once he's back on the mound.

Phillies lefty Cristopher Sanchez leads the first set of risers this season after adding two ticks of velocity over the winter and dominating the Rockies in his first start.

The American League free-agent pool features a lot of targets after the first full weekend of the season including top Red Sox prospect Kristian Campbell, who looks like he's in Boston to stay.

2014
Jackson was a good illustration of how difficult projecting reliever performance on a yearly basis can be. After posting a 6.84 ERA in 2020, Jackson posted a career-best 1.98 ERA paired with 31 holds in 2021. A 90.2% left on base rate was in part responsible for the excellent numbers, but Jackson still posted a combination of skills that often lead to success for relievers. He managed a 26.8 K% while also limiting opposing hitters to a 0.9 HR/9 thanks to a 52.5 GB%. While Jackson was trusted in a high-leverage role, his 11.1 BB% is a significant blemish in his skill profile that has largely prevented him from picking up saves throughout his career. He gained increased competition for late-inning work when Atlanta signed Kenley Jansen in mid-March, and Jackson will miss significant time after being diagnosed with a torn UCL in early April.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could fill setup role
Jackson, who is on the 60-day injured list while finishing up his rehab from Tommy John surgery, could work in a setup role once activated by the Giants, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021 with Atlanta, when he had a 1.98 ERA and 31 holds across 71 appearances. Jackson recently moved up his rehab assignment to Triple-A Sacramento and could be ready to be activated when first eligible in late May. Closer Camilo Doval has 11 saves and a 2.29 ERA this season, but San Francisco's bullpen has otherwise been fairly unreliable. Jackson also racked up 18 saves for Atlanta in 2019, so he could be in the ninth-inning mix if Doval struggles or gets hurt.
