Makes debut for Boston Jansen started at designated hitter and went 2-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Jansen, who was acquired from the Blue Jays on Saturday, made his debut for Boston. The catcher served as the DH and gives the Red Sox a needed right-handed bat that can harm lefties, against whom Jansen has a .718 OPS this season. He replaced Reese McGuire (.533 OPS against lefties), who was designated for assignment, as the Red Sox's backup to catcher Connor Wong.

Shipped to Boston The Blue Jays traded Jansen to the Red Sox on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jansen split catching duties with Alejandro Kirk this season, logging 228 plate appearances across 61 games. Jansen has had a down year at the plate, posting his worst OPS (.672) and ISO (.157) since 2020 with a .212 batting average. He figures to see a decrease in playing time with the Red Sox, as Connor Wong is in the midst of a career year behind the dish with a .802 OPS. Instead, Jansen will likely supplant Reese McGuire as Wong's backup, though Jansen could see some at-bats at DH.

Out of Toronto lineup Jansen is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rays.

Impact Jansen has been out of the lineup for back-to-back games and has now started just three of the last eight contests. A .429 OPS since June 1 is surely the primary reason for his dip in playing time, but Jansen is also an impending free agent and, thus, a likely trade candidate, so perhaps the Blue Jays are just wanting to hand the reins to Alejandro Kirk now.

Impact Alejandro Kirk started at catcher in five of the final eight games before the All-Star break and is behind the dish again for the second-half opener. While it might be too soon to say Jansen has been passed up in the pecking order, it does appear to be a 1B and 1B situation after Jansen had previously emerged as the clear top option. Jansen has just a .467 OPS since June 1.
