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.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in an 11-10 win over Baltimore in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

The catcher went yard in the fourth inning for his third homer in seven games since he returned from a hamstring strain. He's gone 7-for-19 (.368) in that span. Jansen is up to eight long balls, 15 RBI, 21 runs scored and eight doubles through 163 plate appearances this year.

Jansen is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen homered and doubled twice in a 3-for-4 effort Saturday, a monster performance in just his second start back from the injured list. Alejandro Kirk is catching and batting sixth Sunday.

Jansen went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two doubles in Saturday's 10-8 win over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Between a couple of hamstring injuries and general ineffectiveness at the plate, Jansen hadn't record a multi-hit effort since May 18. The catcher took Oakland starter Paul Blackburn deep in the third inning. Jansen is up to seven homers, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored and seven doubles through 146 plate appearances. He figures to work in a timeshare with Alejandro Kirk and Resse McGuire.

Jansen is out of the lineup Friday against the A's.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen will sit for the second straight game after being activated from the injured list and starting behind the plate Tuesday. Jansen, Alejandro Kirk and Reese McGuire all figure to receive run at catcher for the Blue Jays down the stretch.

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

EDGE Analysis

In his return from the 10-day injured list in Tuesday's 4-2 loss, Jansen started at catcher and went 1-for-1 with a walk and a solo home run. The Blue Jays haven't committed to Jansen immediately taking over as the team's No. 1 catcher now that he's healthy again, so both Alejandro Kirk and Reese McGuire could be included in a three-man timeshare behind the dish.

Jansen went 1-for-1 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

In his first at-bat since being activated from the IL, Jansen got the Jays on the board by taking Keegan Akin deep in the third inning. The homer was his sixth of the season in 50 games, but the 26-year-old's .183/.270/.365 slash line doesn't make a strong case for consistent playing time behind the plate in September.

Jansen (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. He is set to start Tuesday's game against Baltimore behind the plate and bat ninth.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen landed on the injured list July 23 with a right hamstring strain. He began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Aug. 24 and wound up going 4-for-15 with a homer, four RBI and three runs scored across five games. He's set to start Tuesday against left-hander Keegan Akin, but he may have a hard time carving out a large role with catchers Alejandro Kirk and Reese McGuire also on the active roster.
