BOSTON – Right-handed reliever Jay Jackson is returning to the Toronto Blue Jays lineup after a brief stint on family medical emergency list.
Jackson’s son JR was born prematurely in early July.
His return to Toronto is timely as fellow reliever Trevor Richards was put on the 15-day injured list on Thursday.
Jackson (3-0) had a 0.53 earned-run average over 17 innings this season with 19 strikeouts.
