Jansen (forearm) is not in the starting lineup Monday versus Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen will miss Monday's contest after exiting Sunday's matchup with Mariners early due to a left forearm contusion. He can be considered day-to-day for the time being with Alejandro Kirk replacing him at catcher and batting seventh in the series opener with the Dodgers. Per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca, Jansen will be available to hit off the bench if called upon.

Jansen exited Sunday's game against Seattle due to a left forearm contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen went 0-for-1 with a strikeout to begin Sunday's matchup but was replaced by a pinch hitter in the top of the seventh inning. He underwent X-rays that came back negative for a fracture, so he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Jansen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen opened the scoring with a fifth-inning solo shot off Bryce Miller. Through 11 games in July, Jansen is batting .303 (10-for-33) with four extra-base hits and eight RBI. The catcher is at a .227/.288/.465 slash line with 12 homers, 41 RBI, 26 runs scored and 11 doubles through 61 contests overall.

Jansen went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

His bases-loaded double in the bottom of the eighth inning provided vital insurance runs in an eventual 7-5 victory. Jansen has hit safely in six straight games, going 8-for-21 (.381) with two doubles, a homer and seven RBI, and while the 28-year-old catcher has lost over 100 points off last year's career-high .855 OPS, he's on pace to shatter the career-best 15 homers and 44 RBI he recorded in 2022, having already amassed 11 HR and 40 RBI in only 58 games.

Jansen will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen opened the second half behind the plate but will turn things over to Alejandro Kirk on Saturday. Both backstops have dropped off at the plate this season after excellent years last year, though Jansen's 101 wRC+ (the product of a .227/.281/.459 slash line) beats Kirk's 78 wRC+ by a fairly wide margin.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's extra innings win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen was able to extend the game with a two out, two-run blast off of Alex Lange in the ninth to send the game to extras. It was his first long ball since June 24, and he's now posted eight hits over his last eight games and has four RBI in his last two. For the year, the 28-year-old is slashing just .227/.282/.464 with 11 homers, 37 RBI, 24 runs and a 13:44 BB:K over 195 plate appearances. He's picked things up as of late, however, and will look to keep it rolling when the team returns following the All-Star break.

Jansen will sit Saturday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen has swung the bat well since returning from a groin injury in mid-June, slashing .268/.305/.536 with four homers in 19 games. He'll rest Saturday with Alejandro Kirk starting behind the dish.

Jansen isn't in Toronto's lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen is 3-for-13 with an RBI across his last four games, and he'll get a breather for the first game of Thursday's twin bill. Alejandro Kirk will take over behind the dish and bat eighth.

Jansen is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Alejandro Kirk will start at catcher and Brandon Belt is serving as the Blue Jays' designated hitter. This is the second straight absence for Jansen, who's batting just .206/.250/.353 over his last 36 plate appearances.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen will get a breather in the series finale after he started behind the dish in four of the Blue Jays' past five games. Alejandro Kirk is getting the nod at catcher and will form a battery with starting pitcher Kevin Gausman.
