Journeyman Edwin Jackson is providing stability in Washington Nationals’ rotation

Related Topics: Washington Nationals

Washington Nationals pitcher Edwin Jackson is the ideal journeyman in the MLB. The 33-year-old right hander has pitched for 12 different teams in 15 seasons. For each of the teams Jackson has pitched for, he has displayed inconsistency on the mound as he sports a 4.36 career ERA.

Jackson, who helped the Nationals win a division title in 2012, has played for six teams since 2015.

He was signed by the Baltimore Orioles back in April and played for their Triple-A team before making three appearances out of the bullpen.

When the Nationals started seeing some of their players hit the disabled list, especially starting pitcher Joe Ross, the team picked up Jackson, who was designated for assignment by the Orioles, to fill in the back of the starting rotation.
