CHICAGO — The Toronto Blue Jays placed Danny Jansen on the 10-day injured list Tuesday and recalled fellow catcher Riley Adams from Triple-A Buffalo.

Jansen strained his right hamstring running the bases during Sunday’s 6-3 loss to Houston.

“I don’t want to speculate, but for sure he wasn’t going to be able to probably catch in the next few days,” manager Charlie Montoyo said. “So of course we don’t want to go with one catcher, so that’s one of the reasons for the move.”

Adams was in the starting lineup for Tuesday night’s series opener at the Chicago White Sox, making his major league debut. The 24-year-old Adams, a third-round pick in the 2017 amateur draft, hit .250 with six homers in 19 games this year at Buffalo.

Montoyo also said George Springer made the trip to Chicago, and the plan was to have him hit on the field and track balls before the matchup with the White Sox.

Springer signed a team-record $150 million, six-year deal with Toronto this offseason, but the All-Star outfielder has appeared in just four games because of injuries. He was placed on the IL last month after aggravating his strained right quadriceps.
