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.

Jansen was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a strained right hamstring, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen picked up the hamstring injury during Wednesday's matchup with the Red Sox and is expected to face a significant absence, per Mitch Bannon of SI.com. Alejandro Kirk was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

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.
