Kenley Jansen, a player for the Red Sox, was unavailable due to a tight back. Jansen expressed frustration and uncertainty about managing the issue for the season. However, he later mentioned feeling better and the possibility of being available for the next game against the Mariners. The Red Sox had to adjust their pitching lineup without Jansen and another player, Winckowski, who had pitched 2 innings the day before.
47 pitches the last two days for Jansen. Left four hitters on base.
Kenley Jansen would be due up fifth in the top of the 10th. A reminder that he is a career .333 hitter.
Kenley Jansen could be available Sunday vs. M's https://t.co/GW0NLENB6g
Kenley Jansen is going to "move around" and is feeling better. There's a chance he'll be available.

Sox didn't have Jansen (bad back) or Winckowski (2 IP yesterday). Campbell, Martin and Weissert had pitched. That leaves Anderson, Slaten or Rodriguez. Could have saved Martin for a save but in a 1-1 game he pitched the 8th. Hard to argue with that.
"You go to bed, you wake up in the morning, you have a bad back," said Kenley Jansen. Told @WebsterOnTV it was frustrating and that he wasn't sure if it was something he'd be managing all season.
Jansen had a tight back. Wasn’t available.
Me wondering where Kenley Jansen is https://t.co/FjAGZ9zmpl
