Nationals' Ryan Jackson: Inks minors deal with Washington
Rotowire
Jackson signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Monday, MLB.com reports.
Jackson has bounced around a lot already in 2017, having spent time in the Marlins and Mariners organizations along with a stint in independent ball with the Sugar Land Skeeters. The Nationals present an intriguing landing spot for the well-traveled infielder with Trea Turner (wrist) set to miss extended time, but unless further injuries strike the Washington infield, Jackson will function as little more than organizational depth.

Jackson has spent the vast majority of his career in the minor leagues. He split his most recent campaign between the Angels and Phillies Triple-A affiliates, where he batted .248/.350/.286 in 343 plate appearances. He doesn't figure to make much of an impact with the Marlins.

Angels' Ryan Jackson: Traded to Angels
Rotowire
The Angels acquired Jackson from the Phillies on Friday, Bill Shaikin of the LA Times reports.
The Angels were in need of shortstop depth in the minors with Gregorio Petit seeing regular action with the big club and two other shortstops -- Andrelton Simmons and Cliff Pennington -- on the disabled list, so they decided to pick up Jackson in exchange for cash. Jackson has 42 MLB games under his belt, but he will report to Triple-A Salt Lake and will likely need another injury to occur to see action with the Angels at any point soon.

Rotowire

Ryan Jackson: Signs minor-league deal with Phillies
Rotowire
Jackson signed a minor league deal with the Phillies on Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Jackson briefly spent some time with the Angels this season, failing to record a hit in 14 at-bats. He did slash a decent .295/.372/.378 line with the Royals' and Angels' Triple-A affiliates last season, so it's possible Jackson could work his way onto the major league roster with a decent showing during spring training, but he probably won't present much fantasy value until he earns more playing time.

The 27-year-old second basemen has yet to have an extended stay in the majors, but it's possible he could work his way into a utility role with a strong spring wherever he lands.
