Baltimore Orioles add Jeremiah Jackson to taxi squad amid injury concerns
Summary

The Baltimore Orioles added infielder Jeremiah Jackson to their major league taxi squad on Tuesday. The team holds a 70-76 record and sits four games out of an American League wild card spot. Jackson's addition provides depth while shortstop Gunnar Henderson manages a sore left knee sustained against the Cleveland Guardians. Utility player Blaze Alexander is also unavailable as he deals with back spasms. Jackson offers defensive versatility across the infield and outfield to assist manager Craig Albernaz during the season's final stretch. The organization signed the 26-year-old to a minor league deal in November 2024, and he has yet to appear in a major league game for Baltimore.
