Atlanta Braves right-handed relief pitcher, Luke Jackson, returns to the Braves

On December 20, 2017 the Atlanta Braves removed relief pitcher Luke Jackson from the 40-man roster. The move was made in order to make room for recently acquired outfielder Preston Tucker. For me, the move was definitely a head-scratcher.

Dropping Jackson from the 40-man roster was questionable at the time because other moves could have been moved…aka Adonis Garcia. Now it could have been a move that made sense within the Braves walls because of the Korea deal with Garcia, but to us, I’m not sure we understand it.

Also, Rex Brothers is still on the 40-man roster…?
