Arizona Diamondbacks’ 1B Conor Jackson was taken to the hospital during tonight’s game verse the Cincinnati Reds. He was pinch-hit for by Chris Burke in the 5th inning and at the time it didn’t seem to be an injury. There had been rumors in press row about a stomach illness had been bothering him over the past few days. Jackson went to the hospital after the game because he was still having trouble breathing. The hospital trip was purely precautionary and initiated by Diamondbacks medical staff.

In the meantime, take Jackson out of your lineups if you have him in fantasy. Chris Burke is almost certain to start tomorrow and maybe the next couple as Jackson tries to get back into good health. Jackson’s a future star in this league and hopefully this illness isn’t to serious to stunt his development.
