Kenley Jansen News: Could have pitched Sunday

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Jansen (groin/abdomen) could have pitched, if needed, during Sunday's 7-1 win over the Rangers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Jansen had been dealing with some right groin/abdomen tightness since Wednesday, but Hinch explained that the right-hander would have been called upon if a save chance was available Sunday. The 38-year-old appears to be healthy heading into Monday's series opener with the Red Sox, and Jansen will look to get back on track against one of his former squads. He's surrendered four runs on three hits -- including two home runs -- and a walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning over his last two appearances, both of which resulted in blown saves.
