It was a bounce-back performance for the veteran catcher, who started the season 1-for-26 with five walks and six strikeouts prior to Friday's contest.

The Rays haven't indicated that Jansen is dealing with a setback, so he'll likely just be picking up some rest Sunday while Ben Rortvedt handles catching duties.

Expected to be ready to go Friday Jansen (rib) is expected to be in the lineup for the Rays' opener Friday against the Rockies, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Impact Jansen didn't have any limitations while going through a simulated game Wednesday and evidently bounced back well Thursday, which should clear the way for his Opening Day availability. He is expected to operate as Tampa Bay's primary catcher this season.

MARCH 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Playing simulated game Wednesday Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Jansen (rib) will play 5-to-6 innings in a simulated game Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Manager Kevin Cash said Saturday that the Rays hope to get Jansen into one of their final two spring training games, so it doesn't seem that the backstop's injury is anything significant.

Pops homer in spring debut Jansen went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.

Impact Jansen has spent most of his time working with the pitching staff to begin spring training, though he homered in his first at-bat of the exhibition season. He was signed by the Rays this offseason in the hopes of bolstering the offense, and he should have the chance to top his career-high of 324 plate appearances if he can remain healthy.
