Danny Jansen Progressing
8 months agoToronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (wrist) caught both of the throwing sessions for relievers Jordan Romano (elbow) and Erik Swanson (forearm) on Thursday and also took batting practice on the field. The next step for him is to face a velocity pitching machine, and the Blue Jays are hoping he'll be ready to catch right-hander Alek Manoah (shoulder) when he's scheduled to throw four innings or 65 pitches on Sunday at Low-A Dunedin. The 28-year-old is trying to recover from a small fracture in his right wrist but appears to be progressing nicely and could rejoin the Blue Jays roster by the end of April, barring any setbacks on his minor-league rehab assignment. Once he's healthy, he'll be splitting playing time behind the dish with Alejandro Kirk.
