The severity of Jansen's injury is unclear at this time. Jansen was behind the plate when the injury occurred, and was clearly in pain when the trainer came out to check on him. Jansen finished the inning, but was then replaced by rookie Alejandro Kirk. Kirk made the Opening Day roster as the backup catcher and could see an increased role if Jansen were to miss time. We'll continue to monitor the reports on Jansen as they come out.

Danny Jansen did all he could to help the Blue Jays try to force a Game 3 of the Wild Card Round, smacking two solo homers in an eventual 8-2 loss to the Rays.
