Jansen went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen has picked up the majority of his playing time against left-handed pitching of late, but he's now made consecutive starts against righties. He delivered with the opportunity Tuesday, slugging a leadoff homer in the seventh inning -- his first long ball since April 11. It's a small sample, but Jansen has gone 7-for-27 with only an 11.8 percent strikeout rate across his last 10 starts.

Jansen will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he's occupying a prominent spot in the order against Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez, Jansen looks like he may have temporarily fallen into the short side of a platoon at catcher. The lefty-hitting Ben Rorvedt has started in each of the Rays' last four matchups versus righties, while each of Jansen's last four starts have come against lefties.
