EDGE Analysis
Jansen popped the home run in his first plate appearance of the game, bringing his total to 10 on the season. That surpasses his total from 2024, and he's also shown some signs of hitting for a better average by going 13-for-50 (.260) with 11 RBI and 10 runs scored across the last month. Jansen continues to draw around four starts per week behind the plate for the Rays.

Jansen went 3-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a walk Saturday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen recorded his first three-hit game and only third multi-hit performance in his last 17 starts. However, he has been productive in other ways, and he now has 14 RBI and 12 runs scored in that same span. Jansen remains the primary catcher for the Rays and has started five of the team's last six games.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
The right-handed-hitting Jansen continues to serve as the Rays' primary catcher against left-handed pitching, but he and the lefty-hitting Matt Thaiss have essentially been working in a timeshare against righties since the latter backstop was acquired from the White Sox on May 27. Thaiss will get the nod behind the dish Wednesday after Jansen had started each of the last three contests, two of which came while the Athletics sent lefties to the hill.
