Luke Jackson, 31, signed an $11.5 million deal with the Giants after missing the 2022 season recovering from Tommy John surgery.
The Giants’ sixth and most recent free-agent addition, right-handed reliever Luke Jackson, is expected to miss the start of the season and possibly be out until June, Farhan Zaidi said Thursday.
Jackson, 31, signed a two-year deal with a club option for a third year last week. He missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last April. While Zaidi said Jackson was progressing well, “it’s a possibility he starts the year on the 60-day IL,” which would render him ineligible until the start of June.
“That would put him at 14 months, which for a reliever is a pretty conservative timetable,” Zaidi said. “He’s doing great in his rehab, so we’re going to wait and see how he’s doing in spring training.” The Giants intended Jackson to be a long-term investment — he could make up to $10.5 million in the final year of his contract if San Francisco picks up his option and he reaches all his incentives — and they are proceeding as such, with caution, in his return from major reconstructive surgery.
Jackson has 19 career saves, and in 2021, he appeared in 71 games with a 1.98 ERA while helping Atlanta to a World Series championship.
