2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jansen has some of the most pop from the catcher position in the league, but unfortunately for him, things on him will not stop popping and he has not been able to stay on the field. His career high for plate appearances came in his rookie season, but he has since missed time in each of the past three seasons as the wear and tear of catching has its costs. His latest injury was a finger fracture on a foul tip while behind the plate which ended his season in early September. He had already set a career high in homers and RBIs before the injury and looked to be on pace for a 20 homer season before the injury. Jansen's approach is rather pull intensive and he is looking to elevate and celebrate on most swings. Both his Pull% and his FB% have been over 50% in each of the past two seasons and that is not expected to change as Jansen plays his final year before free agency while trying to get a nice payday with his next contract given his other flaws.

Not in Wednesday's lineup
Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Jansen is being eased back into action following his return from the injured list Monday, as he's now started just one of three games since being activated. Alejandro Kirk will handle the catching duties in Wednesday's series finale.

Stat Review
How does Danny Jansen compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension talks tabled
Jansen, who missed the last few weeks of the season due to finger surgery, and the Blue Jays have agreed to table contract extension talks for the time being, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Jansen said in an interview with Mitchell that while the two sides broached the extension topic, "both parties agreed to carry on and see what happens throughout this year." The 28-year-old catcher is currently slated to hit free agency next offseason, and it would appear at this juncture that he'll be allowed to test out the market. With Alejandro Kirk under team control through 2026, Jansen seems poised to wear a different uniform in 2025.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
2020
2019
Jansen had two month-long stints on the injured list during 2022 due to an oblique strain and a broken finger, and he finished the regular season having played in 72 games. He started behind the plate Opening Day but didn't appear to have much job security with Alejandro Kirk and Gabriel Moreno also in the mix for playing time, but Jansen produced an .855 OPS with 15 home runs and 44 RBI, and he also improved his strikeout rate nearly four percentage points. He now has a .253 ISO over the past two years, which covers a stretch of 142 contests. Kirk also delivered a strong offensive campaign with a .285/.372/.415 slash line in 139 contests while splitting time between catcher and designated hitter. Jansen's availability is somewhat of a question mark since he's missed significant time each of the past two seasons, but when available he's hit with power. The Blue Jays sent Moreno to the Diamondbacks, though the major return piece, Daulton Varsho, can also play catcher. Still, Kirk and Jansen should be Toronto's primary options behind the plate in 2023, with Jansen likely to fill the shorter side of the timeshare.
