Danny Jansen Starting Rehab Assignment Wednesday
8 months agoToronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (wrist) is serving as the designated hitter for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, and if all goes well with that, he'll catch on Friday for the Bisons. Jansen is attempting to return from a fractured right wrist and isn't expected to make his debut in the big leagues with the Blue Jays until late April. There's a chance he could make it back sooner than that if he's feeling good on his minor-league assignment, but Toronto doesn't have any incentive to push him. The 28-year-old backstop can provide useful power to fantasy managers in two-catcher leagues when he's healthy, but his upside is limited because of frequent injuries and the fact he'll be sharing playing time behind the dish with Alejandro Kirk.
