Jansen says he will join the Netherlands for the Championship Round of the World Baseball Classic, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Jansen had stated earlier that he wouldn't participate due to workload concerns, but it appears he's seizing upon the chance to show his stuff on the championship stage. The Netherlands advanced with a 14-1 win over Cuba on Tuesday and its semifinal game is set for next Monday at Dodger Stadium. Jansen is off to a rough start this spring (10.12 ERA over 2.2 innings), but should get a chance to test his stuff on the international level as he prepares to build off his 47-save campaign in 2016.
