Danny Jansen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Blue Jays' 6-1 defeat against the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

This performance brings a slight uptick to his season batting average, now sitting at .267 through ten games. Jansen's power display, accounting for his third homer of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers in need of catching depth, especially in leagues that reward power metrics. However, his high strikeout rate in this game (two strikeouts) continues to be a concern, potentially capping his overall fantasy upside.

Danny Jansen went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Blue Jays' 6-5 win over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a crucial home run, contributing significantly to the team's narrow victory. Jansen's season has been moderately productive, maintaining a .269 batting average with a solid .419 wOBA, indicating effective offensive output when he connects. His power seems to be in a good place, with two homers early in the season, suggesting potential value in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that reward power from the catcher position.

Danny Jansen went 2-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Blue Jays' 12-2 defeat to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included his first home run of the season, contributing to his modest total of two runs scored over seven games. Despite the team's heavy loss, Jansen's personal output was a bright spot. His season batting average now sits at .286, and while his power numbers aren't eye-popping, his ability to connect with the ball (evidenced by a .294 BABIP and a .387 wOBA) suggests potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, especially for those in need of a catcher who can contribute without dragging down the batting average. However, fantasy managers should temper expectations given his limited run production and the small sample size of games played so far.

Danny Jansen is out of the starting lineup for the Blue Jays Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Jansen will get a day of rest after serving as the starting catcher Friday night. Alejandro Kirk will catch Saturday and bat sixth against San Diego.
