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.

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

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-3 win over the A's.

EDGE Analysis

The backstop took Hogan Harris deep in the third inning, giving Jansen four homers in his last eight games and 10 on the year. He's batting .286 (8-for-28) over that stretch with a .786 SLG, adding two doubles, five runs and six RBI into the mix, and with Alejandro Kirk (hand) sidelined at least until the end of the month, Jansen should continue seeing a full-time workload for the Jays.

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

EDGE Analysis

Jansen was behind the plate for both of the first two games of the series in Miami, so he'll sit Wednesday with the finale beginning at 12:10 p.m. ET. Tyler Heineman will replace Jansen as the Blue Jays' starting catcher.

Jansen is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen earns a day of rest for the series finale Sunday after homering in the loss to the Rangers on Saturday. Alejandro Kirk will get the start behind the plate and hit fifth while Spencer Horwitz hits seventh and lines up as the designated hitter.

Jansen went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

He supplied all the offense Kevin Gausman and the Toronto bullpen would need when he took Martin Perez deep in the fifth inning. Jansen has gone yard three times in the last two games, giving him nine homers and 30 RBI in only 40 games this season, but his .216/.276/.470 slash line has so far lagged behind last season's career-best performance.
