Danny Jansen's solo homer ' 07/18/2021 Danny Jansen smacks a solo home run on a fly ball to left field in the 5th inning

JULY 18, 2021 • MLB.COM

Moves into timeshare at catcher Jansen will start at catcher and bat ninth in the first half of Sunday's doubleheader with the Rangers.

Impact Jansen will presumably sit in the second half of the doubleheader in favor of Reese McGuire, but the two appear to have moved into a timeshare at catcher since the former's return from the injured list earlier this month. Though he has slugged a solo home run in one of his first four starts back from the IL, Jansen has been one of the majors' least-productive hitters this season with a .559 OPS and 26.1 percent strikeout rate across 134 plate appearances.

Opens scoring with solo shot Jansen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact The catcher went deep in the third inning off Rays starter Rich Hill. It was Jansen's first long ball since he homered in three consecutive days May 6-8. The 26-year-old is up to four homers, nine RBI, 15 runs scored and a .168/.256/.303 slash line across 134 plate appearances.

Reinstated from injured list Jansen (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Jansen spent nearly a month on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain, but he appeared in two rehab games with Triple-A Buffalo. He went 2-for-6 with two runs, two walks and a strikeout during his rehab stint and will be available for the Blue Jays going forward. He isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rays but could compete for playing time with Reese McGuire behind the dish in the near future.

Begins rehab assignment Jansen (hamstring) has appeared in one rehab game with Triple-A Buffalo, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Jansen hadn't yet run at 100 percent last week, but he's making strides in his recovery and could rejoin the Blue Jays as early as this weekend. Alejandro Kirk (hip) is also on a rehab assignment with the Triple-A club, so the pair could compete for playing time behind the dish in the near future once they're cleared to return.

Not yet running at 100 percent Jansen (hamstring) wasn't running at 100 percent recently, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The Blue Jays were optimistic last week that Jansen was close to returning from the injured list, but he's still having some issues running at full speed. The catcher is slated to run the bases in Buffalo on Thursday, and the team could have a better idea of his status based on his intensity.
