The Texas Rangers have signed right-handed pitcher Luke Jackson to a one-year major league contract. Jackson returns to Texas after being drafted by the team in 2010 and spending several years with the Atlanta Braves, where he became a valuable setup pitcher. After undergoing Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for the 2022 season, Jackson's performance fluctuated, but his past success (2.32 ERA in 97 innings pre-surgery) shows he has the potential to contribute significantly. The Rangers hope to tap into his prior effectiveness as they look ahead to the 2025 season.
Jackson has shown resilience throughout his career, with dominant seasons around Tommy John surgery, making his return to Texas an intriguing opportunity for the Rangers.
Despite struggles post-surgery, Jackson's strikeout capabilities and ability to induce weak contact suggest potential for a successful return to form for the Rangers.
