2024
"Only four active pitchers rank in the top 50 in appearances as a Brave, Julio Teheran (42), Luke Jackson (37), Kimbrel (20) and Minter (13)."

2023
"com/2KEWGe7qMU— Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) August 26, 2023 Gabe Kapler let Manaea retire Rosario in the top of the sixth before turning to the bullpen for the second time and bringing in old friend Luke Jackson, and Jackson very nicely gave up a solo homer, this one to Orlando Arcia, to bring the score to 4-2."

2022
"To make room on the 40-man roster, fellow reliever Luke Jackson was placed on the 60-day IL."

2021
"The Dodgers had just rallied for a run against ineffective reliever Luke Jackson and had runners on second and third base with nobody out."

2019
"Others in the bullpen currently include Wes Parsons, Luke Jackson, Jesse Biddle, Shane Carle and Chad Sobotka, although of that bunch, Carle and Sobotka have struggled quite a bit in the season’s first few weeks."

2018
"The club has designated catcher Chris Stewart for assignment to create roster space for righty Luke Jackson, whose contract was selected."

2017
"To open 40-man space, the Braves designated righty Luke Jackson."

2016
"Righty Luke Jackson is heading to Atlanta, Law adds on Twitter."

2015
"A scenario that might work in Texas’s favor is a deal including young prospects Alex (Chi Chi) Rodriguez, Luke Jackson, Nick Williams and Luis Sardinas."

2014
"Josh Childress, Luke Jackson, Adam Morrison, Martell Webster, Ronnie Brewer, Julian Wright, Joe Alexander—these guys couldn't get it to click through three years in the league, and though some of them have stuck around, their value has plummeted since their rookie seasons."
