Janssen pitched a scoreless 10th inning to record his 21st save of the season in Thursday's 1-0 win at Tampa Bay. Rookie Aaron Sanchez, who had converted two of Toronto's previous three save chances, was not available after pitching consecutive games, so the team turned to Janssen on Thursday. He did allow a one-out walk, but retired two straight batters to nail down the save. While Janssen is being phased out of the closer role in favor of Sanchez, it appears the veteran righty could still get save opportunities moving forward, especially if Sanchez is unavailable. In any event, it might be prudent to hang on to Janssen until this situation gains a little more clarity.
