Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen exits game vs. Rays with left groin tightness

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen was pulled from Wednesday’s sport in opposition to the Tampa Bay Rays within the backside of the fifth inning attributable to left groin tightness, per the crew.

Jansen grounded out in his final at-bat and sprinted to first earlier than leaving the sport within the backside half of the inning.

Alejandro Kirk took over behind the plate for Jansen.

Jansen is slashing .207/.273/.413 with six dwelling runs and 26 RBIs this season.

According to Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi, catcher Tyler Heineman was faraway from the triple-A Buffalo Bisons’ sport Wednesday halfway by way of the competition.

Blue Jays supervisor John Schneider informed reporters after the sport that Jansen will likely be evaluated in a single day and the crew is “taking it literally minute-by-minute right now.”
