**Twins Recall Jay Jackson from Triple-A St. Paul**
The Minnesota Twins have recalled reliever Jay Jackson for Wednesday’s series finale against the Colorado Rockies.
Jackson, one of the few offseason acquisitions for the Twins, initially struggled this season, posting a 1-2 record with a 6.85 ERA over 22.1 innings. He was designated for assignment and sent to Triple-A St. Paul on May 19. During his stint with the Saints, he pitched in three games, allowing one run in three innings while striking out two.
To accommodate Jackson’s return to the roster, the Twins optioned Louie Varland, who started Tuesday’s game and pitched five scoreless innings, and designated reliever Diego Castillo for assignment. Castillo, who had been sent down earlier in the week, appeared in five games for the Twins, giving up two runs over seven innings.
The Twins and Rockies are set to play the deciding game of their three-game series at noon on Wednesday. Following this, the Twins will begin a four-game series against the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.
