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.

Jansen (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen hasn't progressed as quickly as expected from the right hamstring strain he sustained July 21, but just over a month later, he's finally reached the final phase of his recovery program. Neither Reese McGuire nor Alejandro Kirk has ran away with the No. 1 catching job while Jansen has been out, but that doesn't mean that the 26-year-old will have a clear path to the top gig once he returns. Though Jansen is valued for his defense, his 62 wRC+ on the season places him 49th among the 58 catchers who have logged at least 100 plate appearances.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Wednesday that he expects Jansen (hamstring) to begin a minor-league rehab assignment "by next week," Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen has been on the injured list since July 23 with a right hamstring strain, but he's been working out for nearly two weeks and appears to be nearing the final stage of his recovery process. Since he submitted a lowly .595 OPS in 140 plate appearances on the season prior to landing on the IL, Jansen won't be a lock to take back the No. 1 catching job from either Reese McGuire and Alejandro Kirk once he's cleared to rejoin the big club in the final week or August or early September.

Jansen (hamstring) has been catching side sessions this week and was spotted taking batting practice prior to Wednesday's game against Cleveland, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen has been sidelined since July 21 with a right hamstring strain, but he appears to have resumed full baseball activities and could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list within the next week or two. The Blue Jays will likely send Jansen out on a minor-league rehab assignment before activating him.
