Yankees Place Jackson On DL



The Yankees have placed Double-A center fielder Austin Jackson, the No. 2 prospect in the system entering the season, on the disabled list. Jackson is reportedly nursing a back injury.

Jackson, 21, was hitting .287/.357/.425 with 19 steals in 25 attempts for Trenton. He left Friday’s game against Reading after just two plate appearances. With only a week left to go in the minor league season, the injury could end Jackson’s season.
