EDGE Analysis

Jansen was cleared to perform minimal baseball activities last week and was able to ramp up his activities Monday. It's not yet clear when he 27-year-old will be able to return from the injured list, but he's made good progress recently.

Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Tuesday that Jansen (finger) has resumed performing minimal baseball activities, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen is scheduled to undergo follow-up imaging on his fractured left pinkie finger in the coming days before potentially being cleared to intensify his activities, but the 27-year-old backstop already sounds like he's making great progress since sustaining the injury July 7. Fortunately for Jansen, the injury is to his non-throwing hand, so he'll just need to prove that the fractured digit doesn't cause too much pain when he catches and swings the bat.

The Blue Jays officially placed Jansen (hand) on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Zack Collins was called up from Triple-A Buffalo to provide depth behind Alejandro Kirk at catcher while Jansen is on the shelf. According to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca, Jansen is dealing with a "small, stable fracture" of the hamate bone near his left pinkie finger, and the Jays are preparing for him to miss at least two weeks. A more precise timeline could be available when Jansen is re-evaluated in 10 days.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen has only played in 19 games this season, as he'd previously missed over a month with a strained oblique. He's yet to officially return to the injured list, but such a move is expected to come soon. The fracture is apparently smaller and more stable than most, but a timeline won't become clear for his return until 10 days into his absence, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca. Zack Collins was recalled to split time behind the plate with Alejandro Kirk.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen sustained a left hand injury during Monday's win over the Royals and underwent precautionary X-rays. While the results of his exams aren't yet known, manager Charlie Montoyo said after Sunday's matchup that the backstop was "fine." Jansen should be considered day-to-day for now, while Alejandro Kirk will start behind the plate and bat fifth Tuesday.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said after Monday's 8-0 win over the Royals that Jansen will undergo precautionary X-rays on his left hand, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montoyo said Jansen was "fine" after being hit on the hand by a pitch in the eighth inning, and the catcher was still able to finish the game behind the plate in spite of the injury. Nonetheless, the Blue Jays want to ensure Jansen isn't dealing with any structural damage to the hand, so he'll be sent in for some scans. Even if the X-rays reveal no damage, Jansen could still be a candidate to head to the bench for Tuesday's game.

Jansen isn't starting Saturday against the Twins.
