BALLER MOVE:Add in 12+ Team LeaguesOWNED IN: 23% of leaguesANALYSIS:There is no shortage of young and talented catching prospects that have made their way to the MLB (or very soon will) in 2020; from Sean Murphy, Tyler Stephenson, Joey Bart, Francisco Mejia, Daulton Varsho, and Reese McGuire, just to name a few. However, the one that stands out with both the talent and the opportunity to see a meaningful volume of AB is McGuire's Blue Jays teammate Danny Jansen.Last season, Jansen was able to ...

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen popped a solo home run in the teams 4-1 victory over the Nationals on Monday. He also added a single, finishing the game going 2-for-4 and is now 4-for-11 on the year with three runs and a pair of walks. Jansen spent the offseason working on his swing after a disappointing rookie season where he hit .207 in 107 games. Hes on the good side of a 60/40 timeshare with Reese McGuire, but is fantasy viable in single-catcher leagues regardless.

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen kept his strong spring going with a grand slam off Rays right-hander Trevor Richards on Monday. It was his third homer and 10th RBI of the spring as he's now hitting a cool .429 through seven games. Jansen disappointed fantasy owners in 2019 when he slashed a miserable .207/.279/.360 with 13 homers in his first full season in the majors. With more experience with the pitching staff, Jansen has focused more attention on hitting this offseason, making him ...

Toronto Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo indicated on Thursday that he foresees a 60/40 split between catchers Danny Jansen and Reese McGuire this season. Jansen would be on the favorable side of the platoon despite the right-handed bat, but Montoyo wants both players to know the pitching staff well so he can play matchups during the season. A popular late-round target in 2019, Jansen disappointed owners with a .207/.279/.360 slash line and 13 homers in 107 games last season, but he's worked ...

Toronto catcher Danny Jansen hit a homer with one man on during last night's 19-4 victory over the visiting Texas Rangers. The home run was Jansen's 11th of the year and second in the last three games. A popular preseason pick, Jansen has disappointed owners this year, only carrying a .212 AVG and 73 wRC+. Jansen's playing time going forward is murky, given that he has recently been splitting time with fellow rookie Reese McGuire.

Having been benched in favor of fellow rookie Reese McGuire - who has hit two home runs with a .840 OPS since being called up on July 27 - Danny Jansen hit a three-run home run off of Yankee starter J.A. Happ in the sixth inning of an 8-2 victory at home on Friday night. In the middle of a disappointing rookie campaign, Jansen has been splitting time with McGuire since the latter was called up and will need to continue hitting to stay in the lineup to become fantasy relevant again, even ...

BALLER MOVE:Add in 12+ Team LeaguesOWNED IN: 32% of leaguesANALYSIS:Danny Jansen has long been a prized possession within the Toronto Blue Jays farm system, and though he would appear to be disappointing on the surface for 2019 with a .634 OPS in 270 AB, his nine home runs on the year paired with his plate-performance of late should inspire confidence from the ultra-talented Appleton, [...]

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen has really turned his season around the past two months after a dreadful start to the year. His season-long numbers still aren't anything to write home about as he's slashing .211/.282/.361 with nine home runs and 35 RBI over 84 games. However, four of his nine home runs came in July and on Thursday, he went 3-for-5 and homered with three RBI. He's getting as much playing time as any catcher out there and is worthy of an add in two-catcher leagues. He coul[...]

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen was 2-for-4 with an RBI during a 6-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. Jansen, who started the year on a dismal streak, has come to life over his past 15 games. During that stretch, he is slashing .340/.377/.820 with six home runs, 13 RBI, and 11 runs scored. Perhaps most reassuring is the fact that he has only struck out twice in his last 50 at-bats. [...]

As the first half wraps up and we are left pondering who will flip the switch in the second half, it's only rational that we look at the players who have underachieved most.[...]
