Jansen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 13-3 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
He took Kyle Bradish deep in the second inning to get the Jays on the board. Jansen has gone yard three times in his last five starts, and he's now tied his career high with 15 homers on the season while already establishing a new personal best with 48 RBI. His .227/.289/.486 slash line, however, still limits his appeal in shallower fantasy formats.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen will get a breather after he was included in the lineup in each of the previous four games, with three of those starts coming at catcher. Alejandro Kirk will step in behind the plate Monday while Brandon Belt handles designated-hitter duties.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop took Alex Vesia deep in the sixth inning, pushing Toronto's lead to 6-0. Jansen is having a strong July, slashing .308/.400/.615 through 15 games (11 starts) with three of his 13 homers on the season, and he's now two long balls shy of tying the career high he set in 2022.

Jansen (forearm) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen missed the Blue Jays' last two games due to a left forearm contusion, but he's shown enough improvement to handle his usual duties behind the plate in the series finale. Alejandro Kirk will head to the bench after catching Monday and Tuesday.

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.
