Blue Jays spoil Rangers home opener before largest MLB crowd

APRIL 5, 2021 • Associated Press
Exits after pitch hits knee Jansen left Monday's game against the Rangers after a pitch hit his knee, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.
Impact The severity of the injury is not yet clear. Alejandro Kirk took over for him behind the plate and would be in line for an increased role should he miss time.

Receives off day Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Impact After going 1-for-6 with a walk and a run scored through the first two games of the series, Jansen will cede catching duties to Alejandro Kirk on Sunday in what amounts to a rest day for the former. The upgrade Jansen provides defensively should be enough to keep him atop the depth chart for now, but he may need to show improvement at the plate in his fourth MLB season in order to hold off Kirk for the long haul.

Red Sox lefty Rodriguez scratched for opener with 'dead arm'

Boston Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez will have to wait a little longer before returning to a big league mound
MARCH 27, 2021 • Associated Press
Getting pushed for playing time Jansen has gone 4-for-20 (.200) through 10 Grapefruit League games with a double, a home run and a 6:8 BB:K.
Impact Meanwhile, Alejandro Kirk is hitting .417 and has only struck out once in seven spring appearances. Jansen is still penciled in as the Jays' starting catcher, but the 25-year-old has struggled at the plate so far in the big leagues. If he can't improve significantly on his career .208/.297/.370 slash line while Kirk continues to rake, Jansen's defensive skills may not be enough to keep him in the No. 1 spot on the depth chart.
