Blue Jays’ Danny Jansen leaves game after being hit for sixth time this season

Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen left Thursday’s sport in the midst of the sixth inning after he was hit by one more pitch throughout an at-bat.

Jansen initially stayed within the sport after he was struck by a 2-2 pitch from Cleveland beginning pitcher Noah Syndergaard within the arms and wrist space. Both supervisor John Schneider and the group coach got here out to evaluate the 28-year-old, who has been struck a career-high six occasions this season by a pitch.

But when the Blue Jays took to the sector on the switchover, Alejandro Kirk was behind the plate, as a substitute of Jansen.

Jansen has been struck thrice within the final seven video games and missed two begins in Boston after getting plunked on the wrist by Baltimore’s Shintaro Fujinami final Wednesday.
