Danny Jansen - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Taking seat Wednesday Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Jansen made his return from the 60-day injured list and picked up his first start for the Rangers since June 1 in Tuesday's 5-0 win, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts while playing nine innings behind the dish. The 31-year-old will likely see the majority of the starts at catcher now that he's healthy again, but he'll give way to Elias Diaz on Wednesday.

Hitless in return Jansen went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.

Impact Jansen played his first game since being activated from the 60-day injured list. He's been out the beggining of June due to a forearm injury. He's expected to serve as the team's primary starter behind the dish, although a .165/.269/.299 slash line should limit his fantasy appeal.

Activated off 60-day IL The Rangers activated Jansen (forearm) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Jansen is finally ready to rejoin the Rangers after missing more than two months with a right forearm strain. The veteran catcher slashed .188/.291/.312 with three homers in 46 games before getting hurt and went 5-for-15 in five rehab contests. Though Jansen will likely receive the bulk of the reps at catcher for the Rangers down the stretch, he could be eased back into a full workload after missing so much time.

Set to begin rehab assignment Jansen (forearm) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Jansen has been sidelined since early June while recovering from a right forearm injury, but he's all set to return to game action this week. The catcher was eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, so whenever the team feels like he has shaken off the rust and gotten back up to speed, he'll be able to return to the major-league roster. Considering how long he's been out, it wouldn't be a surprise if he requires a lengthy rehab assignment, but a return to the Rangers before the end of August appears likely.

Shifts to 60-day IL The Rangers transferred Jansen (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Jansen has been on the injured list since June 6 due to a strained right forearm. His move to the 60-day IL will make him ineligible to return until Aug. 5, though he's likely to remain on the shelf beyond then after suffering a setback in his recovery last week. His place on the 40-man roster will go to Logan O'Hoppe, who was acquired in a trade with the Angels on Wednesday.
