Jansen went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in a win against Baltimore on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen had gone 19 games without a long ball before walloping a 430-foot homer to left field in the sixth inning. He also contributed a pair of singles to notch his first multi-hit game in over two weeks. Despite the recent struggles, Jansen has remained Toronto's primary option behind the plate, slashing .211/.282/.361 with nine home runs and 35 runs batted in over 295 plate appearances this season.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
After appearing to turn a corner offensively at the beginning of the month, Jansen will close out July with a whimper. Over his 16 second-half games, Jansen is slashing a putrid .167/.259/.188 with no home runs across 53 plate appearances. Though Reese McGuire will check in behind the dish for the series finale, the Blue Jays seem committed to sticking with Jansen as their top backstop.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen is out of the lineup versus the Yankees on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
After eight consecutive starts behind the dish, Jansen will get the day off, with Luke Maile getting the nod at catcher instead. Jansen, who struggled for most of the year in regards to his offensive production, is slashing .367/.367/.933 with four home runs and seven RBI in eight games this month. He will receive a much-needed breather and will look to stay hot upon his return to the lineup Sunday versus the Yankees.

Jansen went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in a losing effort versus Boston on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen went deep in his first two at-bats of the game, blasting long balls over the center field fence in the second and fourth innings. The multi-homer game was the first of his career and extended his current home run streak to three consecutive games. The three-hit performance was also notable as it lifted Jansen's batting average over the Mendoza Line for the first time since May 1.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen took Chris Sale deep in the fourth inning for his sixth home run of the season. Four of those long balls have come in his past six starts, during which he's also managed eight RBI, five runs scored and two multi-hit efforts. Though his line remains subpar for the season at .197/.273/.328, Jansen appears to be getting more comfortable at the plate partway through his first full season in the major leagues.
