Jansen will start at catcher and hit ninth Sunday against the Indians, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
With just three hits in his first 25 at-bats of the season, Jansen could find himself at the bottom of the lineup on a regular basis moving forward. On a positive note, Jansen has struck out in only 18.5 percent of his plate appearances, so he should be in line for a nice correction in batting average once his .150 BABIP normalizes.

Jansen is not in the lineup Friday against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen has barely had the edge in starts behind the plate over Luke Maile so far this season, getting the call in just five of nine games (with an additional start as a designated hitter). The fact that he's gone just 2-for-21 at the plate so far this season isn't helping his case to expand his role.

Jansen is the designated hitter and batting leadoff in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen has been used all over the lineup early on this season, batting eighth and fifth prior to Sunday's action. Though he'll get a break behind the dish, Jansen will look to get his bat going after reaching base just once in his first seven at-bats.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen received the starting nod in Thursday's season opener and went 0-for-3 with one strikeout. The 23-year-old figures to be a regular fixture behind the plate for the Blue Jays this season, though Luke Maile will grab the start Friday.

Jansen has gone 7-for-23 (.304) with a double and a 0:3 BB:K through nine games so far this spring.
EDGE Analysis
While the lack of power is a touch concerning, the 23-year-old is otherwise on track to begin the regular season as the Jays' No. 1 catcher. Jansen has been a popular sleeper pick in drafts, and while the barren fantasy landscape behind the plate has a lot to do with that, his .275/.390/.473 slash line with 12 homers in 88 Triple-A games last year does offer a glimpse at his upside.

EDGE Analysis
Jansen went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Saturday's game as his September struggles -- .178/.288/.333 slash line in 45 at-bats -- continued. Reese McGuire grabs another start behind the plate for the Blue Jays, and the two figure to battle for starting catching duties come spring training.

Jansen is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen hits the bench for the third time in the last four games as the Blue Jays appear to be protecting the young catcher down the stretch. The 24-year-old had a hot start when he was first recalled in August, but is slashing .171/.256/.371 over 35 at-bats in September.
