Jansen will sit Monday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen started two of Toronto's first three games, grabbing two hits and a homer on both occasions. Alejandro Kirk will catch Alek Manoah on Monday.

Jansen went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

That's now two starts and two homers to begin the season for Jansen, who is looking to prove he deserves the bulk of the work behind the plate even with Alejandro Kirk on the roster as well. Jansen's power has never been in question, only his ability to get to it in games, but if he can improve on his career .215 batting average, a breakout campaign could follow.

Jansen is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

He went 2-for-3 with a home run and a walk on Opening Day and will head to the bench in the day game following the night game. Alejandro Kirk will start at catcher while Raimel Tapia slides into the outfield and Lourdes Gurriel shifts to designated hitter.

Jansen went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 10-8 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

His eighth-inning blast off Greg Holland gave the Blue Jays an insurance run during a game in which they were down 7-0 at one point before competing the largest comeback on a team's Opening Day since 1950. jansen's playing time is in question this season with Alejandro Kirk pushing for playing time, but Kirk got the nod at DH on Friday, and if Jansen keeps hitting, he'll keep finding his way onto manager Charlie Montoyo's lineup card.

Jansen went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

The whiff was only his second of the spring in 17 at-bats, and while Jansen hasn't made a lot of contact in camp, it's been loud contact -- he has two doubles and a homer among his four hits. The 26-year-old catcher figures to split time with Alejandro Kirk behind the plate this season for the Blue Jays, but if Kirk gets extensive work at DH, it would open up more playing time for Jansen. This season could provide his last chance to prove he has a place in the Jays' future plans before the arrival of top prospect Gabriel Moreno.

Jansen went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The catcher launched his 11th homer of the season in the fifth inning off Konner Wade. Three of those long balls have come in Jansen's last four starts, and since the beginning of September he's batting an impressive .327 (18-for-55).

Jansen isn't starting Thursday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen went 1-for-7 with a three-run homer and two strikeouts across his last two appearances, but he'll be on the bench for a second straight game. Alejandro Kirk will start behind the plate and bat seventh.

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

EDGE Analysis

Though he'll be on the bench Wednesday, Jansen caught both of the Blue Jays' previous two games and appears to have at least temporarily inched ahead of Alejandro Kirk. Neither Jansen nor Kirk will be behind the plate Wednesday, however, as manager Charlie Montoyo wants to give No. 3 backstop Reese McGuire another opportunity to catch for starting pitcher Jose Berrios after the two worked well together in Berrios' last start.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen took Griffin Jax deep to left in the second inning for a three-run home run to put the Blue Jays on the board. It was his first long ball in just over two weeks and his ninth of the year. The 26-year-old is slashing .218/.296/.441 with 20 extra-base hits, 23 RBI, 27 runs scored and 17:41 BB:K over 190 at-bats. He and Alejandro Kirk should continue to split backstop duties in the coming week as the Blue Jays battle for a playoff spot.

Jansen went 4-for-6 with three doubles, four RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 22-7 win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday was the catcher's second multi-hit effort in seven games this month. Jansen's productive stretch lately has boosted his slash line to .220/.304/.453 in 169 plate appearances. He's added eight home runs, 11 doubles, 19 RBI and 23 runs scored in 57 games.
