Availability
Kenley Jansen struck out two batters in a scoreless outing to earn the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
Jansen has provided mixed results out of the bullpen of late, allowing runs in two of his last four appearances. The veteran right-hander remains a mostly reliable closing option as part of an underperforming Tigers bullpen for manager AJ Hinch to this point, posting a 4.82 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with seven saves and a 2.40 K/BB ratio across 12 appearances.
Kenley Jansen is day-to-day with a right groin/lower abdominal injury.
Fantasy Impact
Jansen has blown saves his last two appearances. Kyle Finnegan will take over the closer role in the meantime.
Tigers closer Kenley Jansen blew another save in a 4-3 loss to the Braves on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Staked to a 3-2 lead entering the ninth inning, Jansen issued a leadoff walk to Ozzie Albies before serving up a two-run walk-off homer to Matt Olson on a middle-middle fastball. That's back-to-back blown saves for Jansen after he surrendered a two-run walk-off homer to the Reds' Nathaniel Lowe on Friday in Cincinnati. The veteran closer now sports an ugly 6.14 ERA while blowing three of his nine save opportunities through 10 appearances for the Tigers this season.
Tigers closer Kenley Jansen blew a save in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Jansen came on in the ninth after the Tigers gained an 8-7 lead thanks to a pair of home runs in the eighth inning, but blew his second save in eight tries on a Nathaniel Lowe two-run, walk-off home run with two outs in the ninth. The long ball snapped Jansen's streak of six straight scoreless outings as they were his first earned runs surrendered since March 31. The right-hander now sports a 3.68 ERA through nine outings for the Tigers this season.
Tigers closer Kenley Jansen secured a save in a 5-2 win over the Brewers on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Jansen flirted with danger in this one, loading the bases with two out before inducing a game-ending ground ball from a dangerous Brice Turang to notch his sixth save of the season. The long-time closer lowered his ERA to a tidy 1.35 mark through eight appearances for the Tigers this season.
