Jansen is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen will get a routine breather in favor of Reese McGuire after starting at catcher in the past three games -- and slugging a home run in each of them. The 26-year-old has still been one of the majors' worst everyday players this season with a .104/.178/.254 slash line, but Jansen's recent power surge should at least give him a short-term boost in job security.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Blue Jays' 8-4 win over the Astros on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen has homered in each of his last three games after not having a single long ball in his first 62 plate appearances. The catcher is a double-digit home run threat, but it took him a while to get going this year. He has a rough .104/.178/.254 slash line through 73 plate appearances and had just one RBI in his first 21 games.

Jansen went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
His fourth-inning blast helped chase Mike Fiers from the game. It was Jansen's first homer of the year in his 22nd game, but with Alejandro Kirk (hip) out for a month or more, Jansen should see a big workload in May despite his feeble .083/.167/.150 slash line.

Jansen is out of the lineup Wednesday at Oakland, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen started the past three games and finally busted out of his hitless streak, going 2-for-10 with a walk, an RBI and two runs during that stretch. He should continue working as the No. 1 catcher with Alejandro Kirk (hip) out, but Reese McGuire wills tart Wednesday.

Jansen is not in the lineup Friday against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old remains hitless in 33 at-bats over his past 12 appearances and will head to the bench Friday. Alejandro Kirk will start behind the plate and has hits in each of his past three games, so he could displace Jansen atop the depth chart.

Jansen is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
His last hit came April 7 in Texas, as Jansen is now 0-for-30 over his last 11 games. Alejandro Kirk will start behind the dish and hit ninth.
