Jansen went 3-for-6 with two doubles, two RBI and a run in Tuesday's 18-11 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen has quietly heated up at the plate over the past week to make an already formidable Toronto lineup even more imposing at the back end of the batting order. Over his last five starts, Jansen has gone 8-for-18 with six extra-base hits (one home run, five doubles) to go with three walks.

Jansen is not in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen went 1-for-4 in the Blue Jays' first game Tuesday, and he will get a breather during the second game. In his place, Alejandro Kirk will start at catcher, George Springer will serve as the designated hitter and Jackie Bradley will pick up a start in center field and bat ninth in the order.

Jansen went 4-for-5 with one homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen hit a two-run homer off righty starter Kohei Arihara with nobody out in the fourth to increase the Blue Jays' lead to eight. The catcher has been hot in his last seven games, slashing .421/.476/.579 over 21 plate appearances. In addition, this was the 27-year-old's third homer in his last 11 games.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen is on the bench for the second game in a row and the third time in four contests. Even though George Springer has been seeing more time in center field of late to open up the designated hitter spot for Alejandro Kirk, Jansen hasn't been able to capture anything more than a part-time role at catcher. Jansen could soon see his limited opportunities behind the plate take another hit after Toronto promoted catching prospect Gabriel Moreno from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, though Moreno will likely be up with the Blue Jays for a brief period of time.

Jansen went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The catcher swiped his first base of the year in the sixth inning as part of an 8-4 win and a sweep of the twin bill. Jansen is heating up at the plate again, batting .320 (8-for-25) over his last eight games with two homers and five RBI as he splits the workload behind the plate with Alejandro Kirk.

Jansen will sit for the second straight game Friday against the Pirates, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen's day off comes right after a run of three straight starts. He's hitting a lopsided but effective .219/.293/.474 through 157 plate appearances this season. Alejandro Kirk will start behind the plate Friday, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. resting his legs as the designated hitter.
