Jansen was set for his first at-bat of the original game for the Blue Jays when the contest was called in the second inning.

Just over a month later, Jansen was traded to the Red Sox, who subsequently designated Reese McGuire -- Boston's catcher on June 26 -- for assignment.

Jansen was surprised when he learned about his potential shot at history.

"I didn't know (much about this) at first," he told The Athletic. "I was like, ‘What, am I going to have to go on the other team?' I didn't know what was going to happen. It just kind of caught me off guard about the whole situation. Because when I got traded, it was just a whirlwind at first and I didn't think about it.

"But then once that stuff settled, I heard about (the suspended game scenario). And I was like, ‘Oh, that's cool. That's a unique thing that's going to happen.'"

Jansen, 29, has hit .257 with two home runs and five RBIs in 13 games with the Red Sox entering Friday.
