Luke Jackson Resumes Throwing
2 years agoAtlanta Braves relief pitcher Luke Jackson (elbow) wrote in his personal Twitter account that he threw for the first time in six months on Wednesday since having Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on April 13. Jackson is slowly working his way back from elbow reconstruction and is likely to be limited when spring training begins next year, but barring any setbacks, he should be able to return to Atlanta's bullpen at some point in 2023. The 31-year-old right-hander is also scheduled to become a free agent this winter, so he may have to prove his health first before another team invests in him. Jackson was excellent for the Braves last year, posting a 1.98 ERA (3.66 FIP), a 1.16 WHIP and 70 strikeouts in 63 2/3 innings pitched in the regular season.
