Braves' Jay Jackson: Out to begin year with lat strain

Atlanta has placed Jackson on the 60-day injured list March 19 with a right lat strain.

The transaction opened up a roster spot for reliever Kenley Jansen, who inked a one-year, $16 million deal with Atlanta. Jackson, whom Atlanta acquired from San Francisco in November, recorded a 3.74 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 21.2 innings with the Giants in 2021.
