Danny Jansen will make history on Monday.

The Boston Red Sox catcher will be the first player in MLB history to play for both teams in the same game as Boston takes on the Toronto Blue Jays.

Jansen began the season with the Blue Jays but was traded ahead of the deadline on July 27. The Red Sox and Toronto faced off on June 26, a game that was ultimately postponed and pushed to this Monday.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced Monday that Jansen will substitute in for Reese McGuire at catcher, meaning he will have played for both teams in the same game.
