Jackson (wrist) was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Monday.

Analysis:

Jackson was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for the newly-acquired Juan Nicasio. He missed the majority of the 2014 season after undergoing wrist surgery following a 2013 season that saw him record seven at-bats with the Cardinals. He will likely be ready for spring training, though it will likely begin in the minor leagues.
