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 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.

Jansen went 3-for-4 with two homers, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen provided Toronto's only offense Thursday, launching solo homers off Tyler Wells in the third and fifth innings while collecting three hits in total on the afternoon. The catcher had seen his average dip below .200 coming into Thursday's matchup after being held hitless in each of his previous three games. He's now up to eight long balls on the season and brought his average up to .214 with the three-hit performance.

Jansen (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen has been on the shelf since late May with a left groin strain but is ready to roll following a couple rehab games. He had been catching more than Alejandro Kirk before getting injured but might be eased back into things.

Jansen (groin) is on track to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo over the weekend and could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After he was able to do sprinting work on the field Monday, Jansen took another incremental step forward in his recovery from the left groin strain by running the bases Wednesday. He'll likely get reassessed Thursday, and if he checks out fine, the Blue Jays could map out a minor-league rehab schedule for him. Whenever he's ready to return from the IL, Jansen will likely resume sharing catching duties with Alejandro Kirk.

Jansen (groin) did some sprints pregame Monday at Rogers Centre, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The activity would seem to bode well for Jansen being ready to start a minor-league rehab assignment soon, if the Blue Jays think he needs one. The catcher is eligible to return from a left groin strain, which has kept him out of commission for the last week and a half.
