Fantasy Impact

After setting down the White Sox in order for a save on Friday, Jansen danced around some danger en route to another save on Saturday. He allowed a single and a walk to bring the tying run to the plate, but a hard lineout to center off the bat of Drew Romo ended the contest and gave Jansen his ninth save in 13 opportunities this season. He sports a 4.00 ERA across 21 outings with the Tigers this season.

Kenley Jansen struck out one batter in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

Jansen has been steady out of the bullpen since returning from injury, holding opponents scoreless in each of his last two trips to the mound. The right-hander has been one of many frustrating options out of the Tigers bullpen for manager AJ Hinch, posting a 4.24 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with eight saves and one hold through 20 appearances.

The Tigers have activated right-hander Kenley Jansen from the 15-day IL ahead of Friday's series opener against the Guardians.

His expected return to the club is mid-June.
