Jansen went 1-for-4 with a double Monday in the Blue Jays' 5-3 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo on Aug. 12 in part due to the Blue Jays needing regular backstop Russell Martin to fill at third base when injuries piled up, but the 23-year-old now seems unlikely to relinquish the top job behind the plate even once the big club reclaims some health on the left side of the infield. The rookie has recorded hits in all six of his starts, including doubles in each of his past three appearances. Jansen demonstrated excellent contact and on-base skills during his time in the minors and projects to continue delivering a stable batting average for the Blue Jays, making him someone worth rostering in just about every fantasy format that starts two catchers.

Jansen is out of the lineup against Kansas City on Wednesday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen will receive a breather after starting the past two days for his first taste of action at the big-league level following a promotion Sunday. Over those two games, he's gone 3-for-7 with one run scored and a solo home run. Luke Maile will catch Marco Estrada and bat eighth during Wednesday's affair.

Jansen will be recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen has slashed .275/.390/.473 with 12 home runs for the Bison this season. Luke Maile and Russell Martin have been splitting time at catcher for the Blue Jays -- with sub-par offensive results -- so it will be interesting to see how the team divides playing time after the call up of the 23-year-old.
