Veteran RHP Jackson signs minor league deal with Tigers

The Detroit Tigers signed a minor-league deal with veteran right-hander Edwin Jackson, who was released by the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Jackson is set to join Triple-A Toledo, according to MLB.com.

Jackson, 35, has played with a major league-record 14 teams, but he is making a return to the Tigers organization. He pitched for Detroit in 2009 when he went 13-9 with a 3.62 ERA and was named to his only All-Star team. Over 17 major league seasons, Jackson is 105-128 with a 4.70 ERA in 402 appearances (310 starts). He was 1-5 with an 11.12 ERA in eight appearances (five starts) with the Blue Jays this season. He was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday.
