37 Edwin Jackson SP

Jackson will start Wednesday against the Mariners, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

Jackson was expected to toe the rubber Tuesday, but after Daniel Mengden was named Monday's starter, Jackson was pushed back a day. Through 16 starts this season, he owns a 3.18 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 66 strikeouts across 87.2 frames this year.

Jackson (6-3) allowed two earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven across 5.1 innings to earn the win Thursday against the Angels.

Jackson surrendered the first run of the game in third inning, but allowed only a solo home run to Mike Trout throughout the rest of his start. He was backed by a 21-run effort by the Athletics' lineup, allowing him to cruise to his sixth win of the season. Jackson has now allowed three or fewer earned runs in eight of his past ten starts, aiding him to a 3.18 ERA across 87.2 innings this season.

Jackson (5-3) tossed six innings and got the win Sunday, allowing just one run on three hits and two walks while striking out two batters in the 8-2 win over the Mariners.

After allowing an RBI single to Nelson Cruz in the first inning, Jackson settled in and cruised through the rest of his afternoon. The 34-year-old journeyman continues to be a welcomed surprise in Oakland's starting rotation with a 2.91 ERA in 74.1 innings so far in 2018. He'll face the Rangers at home on Saturday.

Jackson's next start was bumped from Monday to Tuesday at Houston, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Manager Bob Melvin wants to give his starting rotation an additional day of rest, so everyone will be bumped back a day as Chris Bassitt will be called up to start Sunday. Jackson gave up two runs and five hits over five innings in his last start against the Astros.

Jackson (4-3) took the loss Wednesday against the Rangers, allowing four runs on seven hits (including two homers) in just 4.1 innings, striking out two while walking three.

Jackson allowed a run in four of the five innings in which he appeared, including solo shots to Shin-Soo Choo in the first and Joey Gallo in the fourth. He was knocked out with one out in the fifth following an Adrian Beltre RBI single. The poor start seems to be just a blip in a surprisingly effective season for the veteran, as he'd allowed just two runs over his last four starts combined. His ERA still sits a just 2.97. He'll face a tough opponent in his next start, travelling to Houston on Monday.
