Injured reliever Luke Jackson loses arbitration vs Braves
NEW YORK — (AP) — Luke Jackson, sidelined for the season by Tommy John surgery, lost his salary arbitration hearing with the Atlanta Braves on Thursday. A 30-year-old right-hander, Jackson had surgery on April 13 to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament. Jackson had 18 saves in 2019 and had served as a top setup man the past two years. He was 2-2 with a career-best 1.98 ERA in 71 games in 2021, helping the Braves win their first World Series title since 1995. Arbitration hearings usually are held during the first three weeks of February but were delayed by the lockout.
