Jansen's exit from Wednesday's game against the Red Sox was due to right hamstring tightness, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Charlie Montoyo said the team will reevaluate Jansen, who recently spent time on the injured list with a strain to the same hamstring, on Thursday. The skipper also suggested the possibility of Alejandro Kirk joining the Blue Jays if Jansen faces a considerable absence.

Jansen was removed from Wednesday's game against the Red Sox after suffering an apparent leg injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old limped his way to second base on a seventh-inning double and was replaced by Reese McGuire. It's unclear what Jansen injured, but details about his condition should come out following the game, if not sooner.

Jansen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 5-0 win over Texas in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen took Texas starter Kolby Allard deep in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old catcher has homered in each of his last two starts behind the dish, but he has only five long balls to go with 10 RBI, 16 runs scored and a disappointing .172/.257/.328 slash line through 137 plate appearances.

Jansen will start at catcher and bat ninth in the first half of Sunday's doubleheader with the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen will presumably sit in the second half of the doubleheader in favor of Reese McGuire, but the two appear to have moved into a timeshare at catcher since the former's return from the injured list earlier this month. Though he has slugged a solo home run in one of his first four starts back from the IL, Jansen has been one of the majors' least-productive hitters this season with a .559 OPS and 26.1 percent strikeout rate across 134 plate appearances.

Jansen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
The catcher went deep in the third inning off Rays starter Rich Hill. It was Jansen's first long ball since he homered in three consecutive days May 6-8. The 26-year-old is up to four homers, nine RBI, 15 runs scored and a .168/.256/.303 slash line across 134 plate appearances.

Jansen (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen spent nearly a month on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain, but he appeared in two rehab games with Triple-A Buffalo. He went 2-for-6 with two runs, two walks and a strikeout during his rehab stint and will be available for the Blue Jays going forward. He isn't starting Saturday's game against the Rays but could compete for playing time with Reese McGuire behind the dish in the near future.

Jansen (hamstring) has appeared in one rehab game with Triple-A Buffalo, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen hadn't yet run at 100 percent last week, but he's making strides in his recovery and could rejoin the Blue Jays as early as this weekend. Alejandro Kirk (hip) is also on a rehab assignment with the Triple-A club, so the pair could compete for playing time behind the dish in the near future once they're cleared to return.

Jansen (hamstring) wasn't running at 100 percent recently, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jays were optimistic last week that Jansen was close to returning from the injured list, but he's still having some issues running at full speed. The catcher is slated to run the bases in Buffalo on Thursday, and the team could have a better idea of his status based on his intensity.

Jansen (hamstring) took live batting practice Tuesday and is close to returning from the injured list, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen will be eligible to return Thursday. The Blue Jays haven't officially confirmed that they expect him to return when first eligible, but it looks as though he has a chance to do so.
