Danny Jansen

Jansen missed the first couple weeks of the 2024 season due to a fractured wrist but stayed mostly healthy for the rest of the campaign, though he played in just 92 games between the Blue Jays and Red Sox due to a .205/.309/.349 slash line and nine homers. It was just the second time in five full-length seasons in the big leagues that he's played in more than 90 games, and the offensive struggles were a major drop-off from the .805 OPS he posted from 2021-23. His track record both defensively and offensively prior to 2024 netted Jansen a one-year, $8.5 million deal with the Rays. He's atop the depth chart, but the Rays will likely manage him carefully throughout the season in an effort to keep him off the injured list. Even if he rediscovers his prior offensive form, Jansen has a limited realistic fantasy ceiling due to his proven inability to push for 400 plate appearances (career-high 384 in 2019).
