Jansen is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen will stick on the bench for a second consecutive game as Luke Maile picks up another start behind the dish in his stead. There has no word regarding any injury, so it seems like the Blue Jays are simply giving the young backstop an extended breather -- the team is off the schedule Thursday -- in the midst of a 5-for-26 slump (.192) over his last 10 appearances.

Jansen is not starting Friday against Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen is hitting a modest .257 over his last 11 games, though that qualifies as a hot streak compared to his .132 average over his first 12 contests. Luke Maile gets the start behind the plate in his absence.

Jansen is not starting Tuesday against San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen is riding a five-game hitting streak, but that's only been enough to drag his season batting average up to .179. He's yet to record a multi-hit game this season. Luke Maile will start behind the plate.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Luke Maile draws the start at catcher after Jansen was behind the plate for both of the Jays' previous two contests. After a disappointing start to the season offensively, Jansen has begun to show signs of a breakthrough lately, posting exactly one hit in each of his last four starts.

Jansen is not starting Wednesday against the Twins, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luke Maile has gotten the call at catcher in four of the last six games, though Jansen has also started once as a designated hitter in that stretch. Jansen could continue to have a smaller role than expected until he turns around his .152/.235/.174 slash line.

Jansen will start at catcher and bat ninth Sunday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen was excluded from the lineup for the past two days in favor of Luke Maile, who went 3-for-6 with a home run and two RBI in those contests. The Blue Jays still appear to favor Jansen as their primary catcher, but the youngster has provided the sort of impact at the dish the team was likely counting on heading into the season. Entering the series finale, Jansen has managed only five hits in 35 at-bats while striking out 25.6 percent of the time.

Jansen remains on the bench Saturday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen started nine of the Blue Jays' first 13 games but has now sat for two straight. It's not out of the question that his playing time could take a hit, as he's hit just .143/.231/.171 on the season. Luke Maile gets the call for the second straight time behind the plate.

Jansen is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen started the last four games behind the plate as Luke Maille dealt with neck stiffness, but the latter makes his return to the lineup Friday. Jansen is 5-for-38 with one double through his first 10 games of the season.
