Fantasy Impact:

Jansen has said that he would like to return sometime in mid-May. That looks like a distinct possibility now. If no complications arise, Jansen should immediately be thrust into the closer role and be elite the rest of the season. 30+ saves with 75+ strikeouts should be attainable.
