DENVER— Initial X-rays confirmed Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen fractured his proper center finger in a 13-9 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday evening, supervisor John Schneider stated.
Jansen was struck by a foul ball on his proper hand throughout Nolan Jones’ at-bat within the backside of the sixth inning. Alejandro Kirk pinch hit for him within the seventh.
“It’s a pretty freak injury, and it seems like those are coming in bunches right now,” Schneider stated.
Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette and third baseman Matt Chapman went on the injured record early this week.
”We’ll see how Jano is tomorrow,” Schneider stated. “It’s an initial X-ray, and there is going to be more in-depth stuff done tonight and tomorrow.”
Jansen, who homered earlier within the sport, is hitting .228 with 17 dwelling runs and 53 RBIs this season.
Triple-A Buffalo catcher Tyler Heineman is the probably alternative.
