2023 MLB season in review: Key stats, numbers

Shut down for year Manager Alex Cora announced Friday that Jansen will not pitch again this season, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Jansen was activated off the COVID-19 injured list last weekend, but he hasn't made an appearance since Sept. 12 and the Red Sox don't have a reason to push him out there in their final two regular-season games. The veteran closer is due a $16 million salary from Boston in 2024.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from COVID IL The Red Sox reinstated Jansen from the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Jansen tested positive for COVID-19 on Sept. 13 and will now return to Boston's bullpen after a 10-day absence, sending Zack Weiss back to Triple-A Worcester. The 35-year-old closer has allowed five runs in three innings across his last five appearances, and he hasn't recorded a save since Aug. 20.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Return could be pushed to next week Jansen (illness) has yet to be cleared and now might not return from the COVID-19 injured list until next week, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact It was reported over the weekend that Jansen was expected back when first eligible Wednesday, but that's not happening now. Once the reliever is cleared, he will need to throw a bullpen session before he's ready to rejoin the Red Sox' bullpen. Boston's lone save to be recorded since Jansen went down was notched by Chris Martin, and Martin should continue to be at the top of the closer pecking order until Jansen is back.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely activated Wednesday Jansen (illness) is expected to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jansen tested positive for COVID-19 following his removal from the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, but he resumed throwing this weekend and should be cleared to rejoin the Red Sox for the final game of their upcoming three-game set at Texas. John Schreiber blew a save in Jansen's absence Saturday at Toronto.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with COVID Jansen was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday after testing positive for the virus, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact The veteran right-hander was pulled from Tuesday's appearance due to fatigue and illness symptoms, and he's now tested positive for COVID-19. Jansen will have to remain on the COVID IL for at least seven days, which leaves Chris Martin and John Schreiber as the likely candidates to split closing duties for the next week.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Battling illness Jansen was taken out of his appearance in the ninth inning of Tuesday's nightcap after experiencing symptoms of fatigue and illness, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jansen allowed two baserunners before being pulled from Tuesday's game against the Yankees. Now that he's been confirmed to be dealing with fatigue and fighting off an illness, it's likely that Jansen will be held out for a few days before making his next appearance. Josh Winckowski and Chris Martin could see an uptick in save opportunities while Jansen recovers.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with trainer Jansen was removed from Tuesday's game against the Yankees with an apparent injury, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Jansen was removed by a trainer after allowing a walk and a single to begin the ninth inning. It's unclear at the moment what exactly is bothering Jansen, but the Red Sox should provide more information following Tuesday's game.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Blows save in extras Jansen (3-6) blew the save and took the loss Tuesday against the Rays. He allowed three runs (two earned) on one hit and one walk without recording an out in the 11th inning.

Impact After Boston took a one-run lead in the top of the 11th inning, Jansen issued a walk to Yandy Diaz to start the bottom of the frame before Brandon Lowe launched a walk-off homer. It's Jansen's first blown save since May 13 -- he'd converted his previous 20 save chances while pitching to a 2.57 ERA in 14 innings since the All-Star break. Overall, the 35-year-old Jansen is now 29-for-33 in save opportunities this season with a 3.43 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 52:16 K:BB across 44.2 innings this season.

Cleared to pitch Sunday Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed that Jansen (hamstring) will be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's series finale with the Dodgers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact The veteran closer had been nursing a tight right hamstring since exiting in his most recent appearance Wednesday against the Astros, but he'll be ready to take the hill Sunday if a closing situation arises after he checked out fine while throwing in a live batting practice session Saturday. Jansen has been rock-solid in his age-35 campaign, converting 29 of 32 save chances while submitting a 2.81 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 41.2 innings.

Ready to return Jansen (hamstring) threw a successful live batting practice session Saturday and believes he'll be available out of the bullpen Sunday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jansen was pulled from his outing Wednesday against the Astros with tightness in his right hamstring, but he's remained confident about avoiding the injured list. That optimism appears accurate, though the Red Sox themselves haven't officially announced when he'll be available.
