TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays welcomed back catcher Danny Jansen on Monday after a stint on the injured list and relievers Erik Swanson and closer Jordan Romano will soon be available as well.
Jansen was reinstated before the opener of a three-game series against the visiting New York Yankees. Romano and Swanson would be activated soon, manager John Schneider said in a pre-game availability at Rogers Centre.
Coming off back-to-back games with the Bisons, Jansen was available off the bench on Monday night as catcher Alejandro Kirk got the start against the Yankees. Kirk, who usually works with scheduled starter Chris Bassitt, batted sixth in the order. "When you get all those guys together in the bullpen, it's a pretty good mix of stuff," Schneider said.
