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.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Jansen (groin) did some light jogging Thursday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen has also been hitting in the cage and throwing without issue. He won't travel with the Jays for their three-game weekend series in Queens but could potentially be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list when first eligible next Monday. The catcher has been on the shelf since May 26 due to a mild left groin strain.

The Blue Jays placed Jansen on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left groin strain.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen suffered a groin injury while running to first base Wednesday against Tampa Bay, and he will now officially be forced to sit out until early June. Alejandro Kirk will likely fill in as Toronto's primary catcher while Jansen is on the IL, and Tyler Heineman -- who was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday -- figures to be Kirk's backup.

Jansen will undergo an MRI on his injured left groin Thursday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen injured his groin while running to first base during Wednesday's game against the Rays. The Blue Jays have Tyler Heineman with the club on the taxi squad in case he's needed to replace Jansen on the roster. They do have Daulton Varsho available as an emergency catcher, though, so they could wait it out with Jansen if they feel he'll be available in a day or two.

Jansen (groin) is not in Thursday's lineup versus the Rays, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen exited Wednesday's game due to left groin tightness. Notable is that Tyler Heineman has joined the Blue Jays on the taxi squad, seemingly as protection for Jansen. Alejandro Kirk will catch Alek Manoah on Thursday.

Jansen was pulled from Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay due to left groin tightness.
EDGE Analysis
More details on Jansen's injury have now been revealed, but there is still no word surrounding the severity of his groin tightness. If Jansen is forced to miss some time, Alejandro Kirk will likely fill in as Toronto's primary backstop.

Jansen was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rays with an apparent injury, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen might have tweaked something while running out a grounder in the top of the fifth inning, as he didn't come back out for defense in the bottom of the frame. The Blue Jays should have more on the catcher's status soon.

Jansen went 3-for-6 with two doubles, a homer, three RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen extended Toronto's lead to 3-0 with an RBI double off Taj Bradley in the fourth inning before capping a nine-run ninth with a two-run homer off catcher-turned-pitcher Christian Bethancourt. It's Jansen's third homer in his last seven games. The 28-year-old catcher is still slashing just .210/.277/.420 with six home runs and 26 RBI through 130 at-bats while splitting duties behind the plate with Alejandro Kirk.
