Jackson's prognosis

Detroit Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson has been sidelined since May 11 with a bum right hamstring. What's his outlook? Given how much Jackson, who is also the Tigers leadoff hitter and team-leader with five steals, relies on his legs, it's promising to hear manager Jim Leyland express optimism that the 26-year-old could be back as soon as he's eligible, per James Schmehl of MLive.
