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 is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen will get a breather in Monday's day game after he went 1-for-7 with a run scored while starting the final two games of the series versus the Pirates. The 27-year-old will be replaced behind the plate by Alejandro Kirk, who will bat fourth in the series opener.

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.

Jansen isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen started the last three games and went 3-for-10 with a homer, a double, four RBI and two runs during that time. Alejandro Kirk is starting at catcher and batting cleanup Wednesday.

Jansen went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and a second run scored in Thursday's victory over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The catcher gave Toronto a 5-4 lead with his sixth-inning home run off Matt Strahm. Prior to this contest, Jansen had been in a major slump over his last 17 games, slashing .102/.175/.102 in 49 at-bats. The 27-year-old has been significantly more effective on the road with a .922 OPS in 69 plate appearances compared to a .573 OPS over 75 PAs in Toronto.

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

EDGE Analysis

Jansen has been one of the big losers of the Blue Jays' reluctance to use George Springer in the outfield for the past few weeks while he's contended with elbow and knee injuries. With Springer clogging up the designated-hitter spot for the second straight game Wednesday, Alejandro Kirk will serve as the Blue Jays' catcher. Though Jansen is the superior defender behind the plate, Kirk's bat is too potent for the Blue Jays to take him out of the lineup.

Jansen is on the bench for Tuesday's game in Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old takes a seat while Alejandro Kirk catches the series opener. Jansen has gone a miserable 4-for-32 with four RBI and 10 strikeouts in 11 games this month.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays won't have the designated-hitter spot available for Alejandro Kirk on Sunday while outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is eased back into action in a non-defensive role, so Kirk will pick up a start behind the plate while Jansen rests. Jansen went 0-for-6 with a walk, an RBI and a run between starts in the previous two contests.

Jansen isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen went 1-for-3 with a run, a walk and a strikeout Wednesday against Baltimore but has alternated starts behind the dish recently. Alejandro Kirk will start at catcher while George Springer serves as the designated hitter Thursday.

Jansen is on the bench Tuesday versus the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Alejandro Kirk is catching Tuesday and George Springer is the designated hitter-a situation that may make it harder for Jansen to find playing time moving forward. Since hitting a pair of home runs July 22, Jansen has hit .100 with no extra-base hits and five RBI.
