Fantasy Impact
Jansen has offered mixed results at the plate of late, picking up hits in three of his last six games. The 31-year-old remains an underwhelming option as part of an inconsistent Rangers lineup, batting .186 with three home runs, nine runs scored, and 10 RBI and across 33 games.

Jansen opened the third inning going yard off Jack Flaherty. It was his second long ball of the season, while still struggling overall at the plate.
Jansen sat out the previous two games in favor of Kyle Higashioka but is still considered the preferred option behind the plate for Texas. Back in the lineup Tuesday, he singled and doubled in his first two at-bats before launching a 409-foot three-run homer in the seventh inning to push the Rangers ahead 7-3.
