Anticipation high ahead of Blue Jays’ home opener
The 29-year-old backstop missed the first 16 games of the regular season. He suffered a small fracture in the pisiform bone at the base of his right wrist when he was hit by a pitch on March 13.
Jansen played four games for the Bisons ahead of his reinstatement. He hit 17 homers and drove in 53 runs over 86 games for the Blue Jays last season.
Alejandro Kirk handled most of the catching duties in Jansen’s absence. Kirk has struggled with just eight singles in 47 at-bats for a .170 batting average and .429 OPS (on-base plus slugging).
Serven did not record a hit in eight at-bats. He made appearances in seven games.
