"It's a big blow to Toronto," he said. The injury list lasts 10 days.
It was also Jansen who wore a mask when Ryu Hyun-jin started against the Colorado Rockies in the 2023 MLB regular season at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, on the 2nd. Jansen's ball was also big in the process of Ryu Hyun-jin pitching with four hits and two runs in five innings. However, after Ryu Hyun-jin went down the mound, Jansen's injury occurred. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Jansen was hit by a foul ball by Colorado hitter Nolan Jones while defending. In the end, he was replaced by Alejandro Kirk in the seventh at-bat and ended the day. As the diagnosis confirmed that it was a right-handed fracture, the catcher mask is not expected to be used for the time being. This is why some predict that the 10-day list of injured people or the actual gap will be longer. Jansen, who had the best defensive skills among Toronto's many catchers, was also one of the best partners in Ryu Hyun-jin's career. After moving to Toronto, he played 292 innings, of which he spent 215 1/3 innings with Jansen. This is the second-highest record after A.J. Alice (245 innings) in his career since 2013 when he entered the LA Dodgers. Due to Jansen's injury, Ryu Hyun-jin is expected to match Kirk or Tyler Heinemann in the Oakland Athletics match scheduled for the 7th. He spent only four innings with Kirk and has yet to play in practice with Heinemann.
