Fri Mar 1513:06Danny Jansen Has Fracture In His Wrist
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (wrist) has been diagnosed with a fractured pisiform bone in his right wrist. The Blue Jays expect him to miss "a couple weeks," and he has a follow-up appointment with a doctor on Friday. The 28-year-old backstop's history of hand issues continues. It's a tough blow for Toronto just before the start of the season for one of their most important hitters, but manager John Schneider is hoping Jansen will return quickly. Jansen was hit by a pitch in a Grapefruit League game on Wednesday and will now miss at least the next couple of weeks while he heals. He'll likely open the year on the injured list, but he could make his season debut at some point in April. With Jansen sidelined, Alejandro Kirk will be the team's primary catcher, with Brian Serven and Payton Henry battling for backup duties.

Thu Jan 1121:55Danny Jansen, Blue Jays Settle At $5.2 Million
Catcher Danny Jansen and the Toronto Blue Jays settled on a $5.2 million salary in 2024 to avoid salary arbitration on Thursday, according to a source. Jansen was in his third year of arbitration eligibility. A fractured finger cost Jansen the final month of last season, and the 28-year-old backstop ended up finishing 2023 with a .228 batting average (61-for-268) with a career-high 17 home runs, 15 doubles, 53 RBI and 38 runs scored in 301 plate appearances over 86 games played. He has impressive power at a position that lacks it, but his inability to stay on the field and the fact he'll again be sharing duties behind the plate in Toronto with Alejandro Kirk in 2024 limits his fantasy appeal. If Jansen could stay healthy over a full season, he'd pretty much be a lock for 20-plus home runs in a hitter-friendly environment and in one of the better offenses in baseball.

Fri Sep 22 202301:16Danny Jansen Has Cast Removed, Set For Mobility Work
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (finger) is out of a cast after visiting with his surgeon on Wednesday, although he's now in a splint. His surgery to set and stabilize the bone in his finger has been successful and he can now start doing mobility work with his fingers. However, there's no timeline set for his return just yet. The 28-year-old backstop has been out with a right middle-finger fracture that he suffered when he was hit by a foul ball on Sept. 1. At this point in the season with less than 10 games remaining in the regular season, if Jansen ends up returning at all, it will most likely be if the Blue Jays make it to the postseason as an American League wild-card team. Alejandro Kirk will continue to serve as the team's primary catcher until Jansen is able to return.

Sat Sep 2 202318:27Danny Jansen Placed On 10-Day Injured List
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. This doesn't comes as a surprise after Jansen fractured his finger when he took a ball off his hand during Friday's game. The team hasn't given a timetable for his return to the field. There is a chance that Jansen is done for the season, but the team should offer a timetable at some point. Tyler Heineman has been recalled to take the spot on the active roster. He won't offer much fantasy value with Alejandro Kirk getting a majority of the playing time behind the plate.

Sat Sep 2 202310:33Danny Jansen Fractures Finger On Friday
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (finger) suffered a fractured finger in Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 28-year-old was hit in the right hand by a foul tip in the sixth inning, finishing the frame behind the plate before he exited ahead of his at-bat in the seventh. He went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI before departing. Jansen missed a few games after being hit on the same hand by a pitch earlier in August, but he's likely facing a more significant absence with this injury. Toronto will re-evaluate the backstop on Saturday, but fantasy managers likely shouldn't expect Jansen back for several weeks. 2023 disappointment Alejandro Kirk will get all the action he can handle behind the dish while Jansen, who is hitting .228 with 17 homers, 53 RBI, and a .786 OPS in 268 at-bats, is on the shelf.

Sun Aug 13 202312:09Danny Jansen Returns On Sunday
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (hand) is back in action on Sunday against the visiting Chicago Cubs and right-hander Jameson Taillon, doing the catching and batting seventh in the order. Jansen will return after missing the last two games due to a bruised right hand that he suffered earlier this week when he was hit by a pitch on his hand. The 28-year-old has some pop at the weak catcher position in fantasy with 15 home runs, but he's batting just .218 (52-for-239) on the season. Jansen has also gotten off to a tough start in August with just three hits in 23 at-bats (.130) with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in seven starts.

Sat Aug 12 202312:10Danny Jansen Still Out Saturday
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (hand) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Saturday against the visiting Chicago Cubs. Alejandro Kirk will make another start behind the plate and will hit sixth in the batting order against Cubs left-hander Justin Steele. Jansen was hit by a pitch on his hand on Thursday in a contest against the Cleveland Guardians, and he'll be sitting out his second straight game. The good news is the 28-year-old backstop is day-to-day after X-rays came back negative. Hopefully Jansen will be able to return on Sunday. Jansen has already matched his career-high of 15 home runs from a season ago and has driven in a career-high 49 runs, but he's batting only .218 (52-for-239).

Fri Aug 11 202317:11Danny Jansen Not Ready To Return
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (hand) is out of action on Friday as the team takes on the visiting Chicago Cubs. Jansen was hit in the hand by a pitch on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians and had to leave the contest early, but he's considered day-to-day after X-rays came back negative. The 28-year-old backstop was officially diagnosed with a right-hand contusion, so he'll have a chance to return as early as Saturday. Alejandro Kirk will do the catching on Friday and bat eighth against Cubs right-hander Javier Assad. Jansen provides fantasy managers with more power (15 home runs, 49 RBI) than Kirk, but he's batting just .218 (52-for-239) with a weak .289 on-base percentage on the year.

Thu Aug 10 202317:40Danny Jansen Has Hand Contusion
Updating a previous report, Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (hand) was taken out of Thursday's game early against the Cleveland Guardians due to a right-hand contusion. Jansen was hit on the right hand by a pitch, but X-rays thankfully came back negative, so we can consider him day-to-day heading into Friday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs. We'd expect to see Jansen get at least one day to rest up, so Alejandro Kirk will probably do the catching on Friday. The 28-year-old Jansen entered Thursday's action with just a .218 batting average (52-for-238), but his 15 home runs at the weak catcher position are useful as he shares time behind the dish for Toronto.

Thu Aug 10 202315:24Danny Jansen Exits After Hit By Pitch
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (wrist) left Thursday's game early against the Cleveland Guardians after getting hit by a pitch in the right wrist area. Before leaving, Jansen was 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored before being replaced behind the plate by Alejandro Kirk. Jansen will likely undergo X-rays to check for any broken bones in his wrist, but for now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Even if Jansen avoids a serious injury, don't be surprised if he's held out of Friday's lineup against the visiting Chicago Cubs. The 28-year-old backstop entered Thursday's action hitting just .218 (52-for-238) on the season but with 15 home runs, 49 RBI and 30 runs scored in 75 games played.

Sun Aug 6 202313:26Danny Jansen Absent From The Lineup Again With Wrist Issue
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (wrist) is once again not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox due to a sore wrist. Jansen was a late scratch before Saturday's game as well and apparently didn't feel ready to play on Sunday. Alejandro Kirk is starting at catcher in place of Jansen against Boston. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue for Jansen but the Blue Jays should provide an update on him following the conclusion of Sunday's game.

Sat Aug 5 202318:17Danny Jansen Scratched On Saturday
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (wrist) has been scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the Boston Red Sox. It sounds like Jansen will sit this game out due to right wrist inflammation. Hopefully, this is a minor issue that won't force Jansen to the injured list. In the meantime, Alejandro Kirk will serve as the catcher and bat fifth versus right-hander John Schreiber on Saturday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Jansen out.

Tue Jul 25 202321:30Danny Jansen Missing From Tuesday's Lineup
Toronto Blue Jays backstop Danny Jansen (forearm) is absent from Tuesday's lineup to take on lefty Julio Urias and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It comes two days after the former prospect left Sunday's contest after a pitch hit his forearm. Jansen sat out Monday as well, and more info on the severity should be announced soon. The 28-year-old hasn't offered much in the batting average department, hitting .226, but has gone deep 12 times with 41 RBI across 63 games. With Jansen out, fantasy managers can expect Alejandro Kirk to keep getting most of the reps behind the plate. He's hitting .251 with a .661 OPS but owns a career .271/.355/.401 slash line with 27 bombs across 283 games.

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (forearm) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Jansen was hit by a pitch on the forearm during the fifth inning of Sunday's contest. He remained in the game for a few innings before Alejandro Kirk batted for him in the seventh inning. Jansen underwent X-rays which came back negative for any fractures. The team is calling the injury a left forearm contusion. Fantasy managers should consider Jansen as day-to-day, so he should avoid a trip to the injured list.

Tue Jun 13 202317:52Brandon Belt Placed On 10-Day IL, Danny Jansen Reinstated
Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Brandon Belt (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 11. The team also reinstated catcher Danny Jansen (groin) from the 10-day IL, placed right-hander Adam Cimber on the paternity list, recalled infielder Ernie Clement and right-hander Bowden Francis from Triple-A Buffalo and optioned catcher Tyler Heineman to Buffalo. Belt was pulled out of Saturday's contest early due to a left-hamstring issue. Luckily, the MRI came back clean, and Belt isn't dealing with any structural damage. However, the team decided to take the cautious approach and give Belt some time off to recover. The 35-year-old is slashing .263/.378/.434 with four home runs and 16 RBI in 46 games this season.

Tue Jun 13 202314:18Danny Jansen On Pace To Rejoin Blue Jays Wednesday
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen appears on pace to rejoin the club on Wednesday as he works his way back from a left groin strain. If his two-game rehab stint has been any indication, Jansen's bat is certainly ready to return. The 28-year-old homered for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday and went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored for the club on Sunday. Jansen scuffled to a .207 batting average before hitting the shelf but he also provided six home runs and seven doubles across 132 trips to the plate. With current backup Tyler Heineman largely struggling offensively, the Jays will be eager to get Jansen's power back into the lineup.

Thu Jun 8 202309:28Danny Jansen Aiming For Weekend Rehab Assignment
Toronto Blue Jays backstop Danny Jansen (groin) has ramped up his baseball activities lately and will likely join Triple-A Buffalo on Friday to begin a rehab assignment, according to MLB.com. If everything goes well, the 28-year-old could rejoin the Blue Jays on June 13 for their series against the Baltimore Orioles. Jansen's been on the injured list since May 26 after straining his left groin during a game on May 24. Before that, the former prospect was hitting just .207 with six bombs, 16 runs, and 26 RBI over 36 games. Jansen's value is limited in roto leagues due to his career .221 batting average, but he's a solid bat in points formats, thanks to a .477 slugging percentage since 2021.

Fri May 26 202319:36Danny Jansen Lands On Injured List
The Toronto Blue Jays placed catcher Danny Jansen (groin) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 25) on Friday with a left-groin strain and recalled catcher Tyler Heineman from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Jansen won't return until June now after injuring his groin running to first base in the game on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. It's a bummer for fantasy managers that were using the 28-year-old backstop of late, as he had gone 12-for-42 (.286) with four doubles, three home runs and 11 RBI in his last 11 games since May 13. Alejandro Kirk is catching for Toronto on Friday against the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Louie Varland, and he's expected to be the primary backstop while Jansen recovers.

Thu May 25 202312:20Danny Jansen Going For MRI Exam
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (groin) will undergo an MRI exam on his injured left groin, according to manager John Schneider. Tyler Heineman will be on the taxi squad if needed. The Blue Jays are comfortable with giving Jansen a day or two with Daulton Varsho as an emergency backup catcher behind Alejandro Kirk. Jansen injured his groin running to first base on Wednesday and had to be pulled, and he could very well be looking at a trip to the injured list. It's terrible timing for the 28-year-old backstop, as he has been heating up at the plate in his last 11 games, going 12-for-42 (.286) with four doubles, three home runs and 11 RBI. Kirk should handle most of the catching duties for however long Jansen is sidelined.

Wed May 24 202321:13Danny Jansen Leaves Early With Injury Wednesday
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (groin) left Wednesday night's game early against the Tampa Bay Rays due to left-groin tightness. Jansen departed the game after going 0-for-2 at the plate with one strikeout to drop his season average to .207. Alejandro Kirk, who would see more playing time behind the dish if Jansen were to miss any time with this injury, replaced him on Wednesday and also went 0-for-2 at the plate. The 28-year-old Jansen came into Wednesday's contest hitting just .210 (25-for-119) with seven doubles, six home runs and 26 RBI in 35 games, but he had come on strong of late with 12 hits in 40 at-bats (.300 average) with three home runs and 11 RBI in the last 10 games. Check back later for an update on the severity of his groin injury.
