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 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.
