Indians sent LHP Jackson to Blue Jays

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians have traded pitcher Zach Jackson to the Toronto Blue Jays for a player to be named.

Jackson appeared in only three games for Cleveland last season. He spent most of 2009 at Triple-A Columbus, where the left-hander went 4-8 with a 6.05 ERA, made 14 starts and pitched in 30 games.

Jackson was one of four players acquired by the Indians in the 2008 trade that sent ace CC Sabathia to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Drafted by Toronto in the first round in 2004, Jackson went 2-3 with a 5.60 ERA for Cleveland in ‘08.
