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.

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.

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).

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.
