Veteran Jay Jackson was designated for assignment by the Minnesota Twins on Sunday as the club recalled fellow right-hander Caleb Boushley from Triple-A St. Paul.
Jackson, 36, struggled to a 6.85 ERA in 17 relief appearances this season, his first with the Twins. Jackson has six seasons of major league experience with six different clubs, going 7-4 with a 4.19 ERA in 101 appearances (one start). He also pitched four seasons in Japan.
Boushley. 30, has one game of major league experience, allowing a solo homer for his lone hit in 2 1/3 innings for the Milwaukee Brewers last season. He was 4-1 at Triple-A with a 4.54 ERA in eight starts.
