Jansen underwent surgery Thursday to insert a pin into his fractured right middle finger, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen's procedure will officially keep him out for the remainder of the regular season. The Blue Jays have not yet ruled out a return during the postseason, so there's still a chance Jansen is able to aid Toronto in its playoff run. He will finish the 2023 campaign with a .228/.312/.474 slash line alongside 17 homers and 53 RBI across 301 plate appearances.

Jansen (finger) will visit a hand specialist Wednesday in Pennsylvania, after which the Blue Jays hope to have a clearer timetable for the catcher, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen landed on the injured list over the weekend after being diagnosed with a fractured right middle finger. It's an injury which figures to keep him out most, if not all, of the remainder of the regular season, but more will be known following Wednesday's exam.

The Blue Jays placed Jansen on the 10-day injured list with a fractured right middle finger.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen suffered the injury after getting hit by a foul ball during Friday's contest. The Blue Jays haven't offered any information regarding how long Jansen might be out for, but there is no guarantee he makes it back before the end of the season. Alejandro Kirk will take over as Toronto's main catcher, and Tyler Heineman will come up from Triple-A Buffalo to serve as Kirk's backup.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Toronto and Washington are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, so Jansen will rest after catching all nine innings of Tuesday's 5-4 win. Alejandro Kirk will spell Jansen behind the dish Wednesday.

Jansen went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and two additional runs scored in Monday's win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen extended the Blue Jays' lead to 5-1 in the third inning with a 402-foot homer off Robert Garcia, his career-high 16th round tripper. The long ball extended Jansen's hit streak to four games -- he's gone 4-for-11 (.364) with a 1.381 OPS in that span. Overall, the 28-year-old backstop is batting .226 with 51 RBI, 37 runs scored and a .778 OPS across 293 plate appearances this season while seeing the majority of starts behind the plate in Toronto.

Jansen will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays' catching duties have been tilting in Jansen's favor of late. He'll be picking up his fifth start behind the plate Sunday in the Blue Jays' last seven games, while Alejandro Kirk has received the other two starts at catcher during that stretch. Jansen will form a battery with starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi in the series finale.

Jansen is not in the lineup Friday versus the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Alejandro Kirk will start behind the plate as he and Jansen continue to share time at the position. They're both right-handed hitters, so it's not a natural -- nor predictable -- catching platoon in Toronto.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen will return to the bench after he had started behind the plate in the first two games of the series, going 3-for-9 with a double, an RBI and a run. Though he's outperformed Alejandro Kirk for much of the season, Jansen has moved into more of a timeshare of late. Kirk has produced a .768 OPS since the All-Star break to improve his case for more playing time.

Jansen remains out of the lineup Friday versus the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Alejandro Kirk will make a third straight start at catcher for the Blue Jays as they open a three-game weekend series at Great American Ball Park. There's no word of any new injury, though Jansen did miss a bit of time last week because of a right hand contusion.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen rejoined the starting nine Sunday after missing the previous two games with a bruised right hand, and he'll return to the bench for Tuesday's series opener versus Philadelphia. Alejandro Kirk will work behind the plate and bat sixth.
