The Orioles optioned Jackson to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
The 26-year-old opened the campaign as a lineup regular while Jackson Holliday was on the injured list, and Jackson took advantage of those early opportunities with six homers and an .800 OPS in his first 28 games. He's received more sporadic playing time of late and has a .244/.261/.333 slash line in his past 19 contests, so the Orioles will send him down to make room on the roster for the activation of Dylan Beavers (oblique).

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Notches second steal
Rotowire
Jackson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-1 win over the Angels.
Jackson has been filling in at second base in the absence of Jackson Holliday (groin) over the last two games. The theft was Jackson's first since April 19 versus the Guardians. The utility man has done fairly well when called upon, batting .255 with a .682 OPS, seven home runs, 32 RBI, 22 runs scored, two steals and eight doubles over 195 plate appearances this season. Jackson could shift over to third base if Blaze Alexander (knee contusion) misses any time after exiting Monday's game early.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Playing time drying up
Rotowire
Jackson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.
Jackson had been handling a near-everyday role for the first two months of the season, but his playing time has dropped off considerably since Jackson Holliday was reinstated from the injured list May 18. The Orioles will keep Jackson on the bench for an eighth straight game Monday, marking by far the longest stretch he's been out of the lineup all season after he previously went no more than two games without a start.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Back on bench for nightcap
Rotowire
Jackson is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.
Jackson Holliday will rejoin the starting nine at second base after Jackson occupied the position for the Orioles' 5-3 win in Game 1 while going 1-for-4 with a run scored. The Orioles have yet to start Holliday in consecutive games since he was activated from the injured list Monday, but he should eventually settle back into a near-everyday role once he's further removed from the hand injury that had kept him on the shelf all season. When that happens, Jackson is likely to see a stark downturn in his playing time.

Rotowire

Jackson will head to the bench for the series finale while the Orioles go with Blaze Alexander at second base, Weston Wilson at third base and Coby Mayo at designated hitter.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: On bench for second straight
Rotowire
Jackson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
He'll take a seat for the second day in a row while the Orioles go with Blaze Alexander at second base. After a sizzling start to the season at the dish, Jackson has gone cold thus far in May, slashing just .154/.185/.154 over 27 plate appearances on the month.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Taking seat Sunday
Rotowire
jackson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
While starting the last four games, Jackson went just 2-for-14 at the dish, dropping his season batting average to .246. Blaze Alexander will step in at second base Sunday in place of Jackson, who has been a near-everyday player for most of the season but could soon be at risk of falling into a part-time role due to Jackson Holliday (hand) moving closer to a return from the injured list.
Jackson is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
The 26-year-old opened the season in a bit of a timeshare at second base, but he grabbed hold of the everyday job with a hot start and is now sitting after starting 19 straight games. Jackson's bat has cooled off lately, however, as he's slashing just .200/.238/.300 in his past 11 contests. Blaze Alexander is manning the keystone Friday for Baltimore.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Slugs homer No. 5
Rotowire
Jackson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-4 win over the Guardians.
The Orioles were down 4-0 heading into the eighth inning -- a deficit created in part by Jackson's first error of the season -- but the 26-year-old utility player redeemed himself when he capped a six-run eruption by launching a Connor Brogdon fastball into the left-field seats. Jackson has five homers on the campaign and all of them have come in the last seven games, a stretch in which he's batting .429 (12-for-28) with two doubles, five runs and 13 RBI.
Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Goes yard again Wednesday
Rotowire
Jackson went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-5 extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.
The 26-year-old utility player got hold of an Eduardo Rodriguez fastball in the bottom of the fourth inning, ripping it on a line over the fence in left-center field for a two-run shot. It was Jackson's fourth homer of the season, and all four have come in the last five games as part of a six-game hitting streak, during which he's batting .480 (12-for-25) with two doubles, five runs and 10 RBI. With Jackson Holliday (hand) having had a setback on his rehab assignment earlier this week and Jordan Westburg (elbow) still not expected back until late May, Jackson has the starting job at second base locked down for now.
Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Posts first career multi-homer game
Rotowire
Jackson went 3-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's win over the Diamondbacks.
Jackson established a career high in RBI on Monday, also turning his first career multi-homer performance. The expectation is that Jackson Holliday (hand) won't be activated from the 10-day injured list this week, likely extending Jackson's runway as Baltimore's top second baseman for the time being. Through 44 at-bats, Jackson is batting .318 with four extra-base hits, 11 RBI and four runs scored.

Rotowire
Jackson went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Giants.
Jackson drove in a run with a double in the fourth inning before launching his first homer of the season in the seventh. The 26-year-old has now drawn 10 starts this season and has hit safely in seven of them. Overall, he's gone 10-for-36 with six RBI and two runs scored while posting a 0:9 BB:K.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Exiting starting nine Wednesday
Rotowire
Jackson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
Jackson had started at second base in six of the Orioles' previous seven games, but he'll cede the keystone to Blaze Alexander in the series finale in Chicago. Both Jackson and Alexander are likely to see their opportunities at second base dry up once the Orioles are ready to bring Jackson Holliday (hand) back from the injured list.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Making another start at keystone
Rotowire
Jackson will start at second base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Occupying second base for the fourth time in five games, Jackson appears to have the early edge in playing time at the position over Blaze Alexander. However, with just three hits and a 0:6 BB:K through 12 plate appearances, Jackson hasn't run away with the job. Both Jackson and Alexander will see their opportunities at the keystone dwindle once Jackson Holliday (hand) returns from the injured list, likely at some point around the middle of the month.

Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Makes roster, on bench for opener
Rotowire
Jackson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
Though Jackson beat out a number of competitors for the final position-player spot on the Orioles' Opening Day roster, he looks like he'll have to settle for a part-time role to begin the season, even while Jackson Holliday (hand) and Jordan Westburg (elbow) are on the injured list. Coby Mayo is expected to be Westburg's primary replacement at third base, while the Orioles could opt for a more of a timeshare between Jackson and Blaze Alexander at the keystone in Holliday's absence. The Orioles will turn to Alexander at second base for the opener.
