The unexpected extension on his DL stint means Jackson could need a short rehab in the minors before returning to the Tigers. Continue to keep him stashed on your bench and monitor his progress closely. Don Kelly and Avisail Garcia will continue to fill in at center field while Jackson is on the shelf.","date":"Sat May 25"},"fullName":"Austin Jackson","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Judging by Jackson's career statistical profile, he looks like a player who believes that one creates his own luck. A \"fortunate\" fella who rode a .396 BABIP to a No. 2 finish in the American League Rookie of the Year race in 2010, Jackson has since made numerous improvements to his approach at the plate to mitigate the luck factors. Last season, he made massive advances with both his walk (career-high 10.9 percent) and strikeout (career-low 21.7 percent) rates, he cut his ground ball rate by 8 percent and he set a new personal best with a .228 well-hit average. The result was Jackson's first .300 season -- one truly earned -- a boost in power and a healthy .377 on-base percentage that drove his 103 runs scored. The only knocks on his year were his early-season DL stint for an abdominal strain, and a decline in stolen bases. If Jackson can stay healthy this year, though, he might be an under-the-radar candidate to lead the league in runs. Coupled with the other contributions he makes in rotisserie leagues, he could be quite a value in the early-to-middle rounds.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.4,"playerRater15DAY":-3.3,"positionRank":43}
