Danny Jansen News
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (knee) is back in Wednesday's lineup after leaving Monday's game early due to injury. The 25-year-old catcher took a ball off the knee while catching and had to leave late in the contest. He then had Tuesday off while rookie catcher Alejandro Kirk caught. Jansen is hitting just .125 through three games but he's known for his defensive contributions. Texas baserunners stole three bases on Tuesday so Toronto is likely hoping the regular catcher can help keep the runners honest. However, he's allowed two stolen bases so far this season without catching a runner. He threw out 23% of baserunners in 2020.
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen left Monday's game early after taking a ball off his knee while behind the plate. The ball missed the padding of his shin guard and left the young catcher hobbled. Manager Charlie Montoyo said after the game that Jansen was feeling better. He's considered day-to-day with the injury for now. Backup catcher Alejandro Kirk, who came in to pinch-hit during the eighth inning of Toronto's 6-2 win, was already expected to catch Tuesday's game. Jansen is off to a slow start to the season with bat and is hitting just .125 through his first three games. Known predominantly for his defensive contributions, he produced an 86 wRC+ with a .183 batting average and six home runs in 43 games last season.
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (knee) is day-to-day after leaving Monday's game with a sore knee. Jansen had to leave the game after taking a foul ball off of his right knee, with manager Charlie Montoyo saying that for him to come out of a game, "it's got to hurt." Backup catcher Alejandro Kirk seems destined for a start on Tuesday, with Jansen likely to be sidelined for the contest.
