Jansen went 1-for-4 with one homer, three RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's victory over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen gave the Blue Jays a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the third with a three-run homer off White Sox starter Michael Kopech. It was the catcher's seventh home run of the season across just 16 appearances. Jansen is currently slashing .283/.761/1.101 -- which would all be career highs -- and is well on his way to eclipsing his career-high 13 home runs, which he set during the 2019 campaign.

Jansen (hip) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen didn't play in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Angels due to a minor hip issue, but he's apparently feeling fine coming out of Monday's team off day. As the Blue Jays' top defensive catcher, Jansen should see a slightly larger share of the work behind the plate as the team begins a six-game homestand, though Alejandro Kirk will stick in the lineup Tuesday as Toronto's designated hitter.

Jansen wasn't in Sunday's lineup against the Angels due to a minor hip injury, Gregor Chisholm of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old had started in three of the last four games prior to Sunday's matchup, and manager Charlie Montoyo didn't sound too concerned about Jansen's injury following the win. The backstop should tentatively be considered day-to-day prior to Tuesday's series opener against the White Sox.

Jansen went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop launched a three-run shot off Jordan Hicks in the fourth inning and a solo blast off Drew VerHagen in the seventh. Jansen has only played in 11 games this season due to an oblique strain, but he's made the most of his chances by hitting .310 (9-for-29) with five homers, six runs and eight RBI.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
He'll retreat to the bench after he caught in three of the Blue Jays' last four games while going 1-for-10 with two strikeouts during that stretch. Jansen will give way to Alejandro Kirk behind the dish in the series opener.

Jansen will sit Tuesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen has now started just twice in four games since returning from an oblique injury Saturday. It's unclear if his playing time will pick up once he's further removed from the injured list or if he and Alejandro Kirk, who starts Tuesday, will continue an even split behind the plate going forward.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Saturday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen spent just over a month on the injured list with an oblique injury but recently completed a rehab stint at Single-A Dunedin in which he went 3-for-10 with two doubles and four runs. The 27-year-old should serve as the primary catcher now that he's healthy, while Alejandro Kirk should see additional at-bats as the designated hitter.
