Jansen (knee) is being considered day-to-day after leaving Monday's game against Texas, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen was removed from Monday's clash after being struck by a pitch on his knee. The team will likely re-evaluate the backstop Tuesday before determining his status for the second game of the series.

Jansen left Monday's game against the Rangers after a pitch hit his knee, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of the injury is not yet clear. Alejandro Kirk took over for him behind the plate and would be in line for an increased role should he miss time.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

After going 1-for-6 with a walk and a run scored through the first two games of the series, Jansen will cede catching duties to Alejandro Kirk on Sunday in what amounts to a rest day for the former. The upgrade Jansen provides defensively should be enough to keep him atop the depth chart for now, but he may need to show improvement at the plate in his fourth MLB season in order to hold off Kirk for the long haul.

Jansen has gone 4-for-20 (.200) through 10 Grapefruit League games with a double, a home run and a 6:8 BB:K.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, Alejandro Kirk is hitting .417 and has only struck out once in seven spring appearances. Jansen is still penciled in as the Jays' starting catcher, but the 25-year-old has struggled at the plate so far in the big leagues. If he can't improve significantly on his career .208/.297/.370 slash line while Kirk continues to rake, Jansen's defensive skills may not be enough to keep him in the No. 1 spot on the depth chart.

Jansen is not in the lineup Saturday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen has remained the top option behind the plate despite the recent promotion of catching prospect Alejandro Kirk. He's started 10 games behind the plate since Kirk's arrival, while Kirk makes just his sixth start at catcher Saturday. The added competition appears to have galvanized Jansen, as he's hitting .300/.382/.533 in those 10 games.

Jansen went 4-for-4 with three RBI and three runs scored, including two solo home runs in the Blue Jays' 14-1 dismantling of the Yankees on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen racked up 11 total bases after collecting four total bases over the eight games prior. In a career night for the 25-year-old, he nearly doubled his 2020 home run output and upped his slugging to .590 over his previous fifteen games.

Jansen is not starting Monday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen hasn't seen his playing time dip by much even with the promotion of Alejandro Kirk, who starts Monday. He'd started five of the last six games heading into Monday's contest. It wouldn't be a surprise if he sat more frequently in the final week, as he's followed his disappointing .639 OPS from last season with a .589 mark this year.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen will head to the bench for Friday's matinee after going 3-for-4 with two runs and one RBI during Thursday's loss to the Yankees. Alejandro Kirk receives the start behind the plate in Game 1.

Jansen isn't in Tuesday's lineup against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen will take a seat for the third time in the last five games as he continues to alternate starts behind the plate. Alejandro Kirk will start at catcher Tuesday.

Jansen is not starting Saturday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen has hit a very poor .146/.294/.303 on the season. His playing time could take a hit down the stretch depending on whether Alejandro Kirk, who makes his big-league debut behind the plate Saturday, has success as he makes the jump up from High-A.
