3/22/25	Tampa Bay Rays Catcher Danny Jansen Aiming to Return From Rib Injury. Tampa Bay Rays catcher Danny Jansen has been out for the past few days due to a pulled rib muscle, manager Kevin Cash told reporters Saturday morning. Jansen hasn't appeared in a Grapefruit League game since Wednesday, when he went 1-for-3 with a solo home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cash is aiming to get the veteran free agent addition back in the lineup either Sunday against the New York Yankees or Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies.

9/24/24	Red Sox lineup: Danny Jansen behind plate in Toronto homecoming. TORONTO — On Monday night, in the first game of the Red Sox' three-game series at Rogers Centre, Danny Jansen was the center of attention. The former Blue Jays catcher, who was acquired by the Red Sox at the trade deadline, was returning to Toronto, where he spent six and a half seasons and was extraordinarily popular with fans and media. A handful of Toronto reporters visited him in the Boston clubhouse before the game, and in the first inning, he was introduced to the crowd, receiving a warm ovation. He returned the sentiment by saluting the fans, waving in front of the Boston dugout. Just one problem: he wasn't in the lineup, as Connor Wong was behind the plate. Tuesday night, that will change Source: https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2024/09/red-sox-li...
