Jansen (wrist) is expected to join the Toronto lineup and make his season debut in Tuesday's game against the Yankees, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the first two and a half weeks of the season while recovering from a fractured right wrist suffered in a March 13 spring training game, Jansen was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday. He didn't play in Monday's series-opening 3-1 victory, however, as Alejandro Kirk drew the nod behind the plate and went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored. Though Kirk has now reached base seven times over the Blue Jays' last two games, he's still slashing an ugly .200/.293/.220 through 58 plate appearances. Given that he's regarded as the superior defender of the two catchers and in light of Kirk's struggles at the dish, Jansen is expected to emerge as the Blue Jays' No. 1 backstop now that he's healthy.

Jansen (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Blue Jays on Monday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen wound up missing the first two-and-a-half weeks of the season after suffering a small fracture in his right wrist. He went 4-for-13 with a home run during his rehab assignment and seems likely to ascend to the top of the Blue Jays' catching depth chart given Alejandro Kirk's struggles (.170/.259/.170).

Jansen (wrist) has completed a rehab assignment and could return to Toronto's lineup Monday, Mike Wilner of The Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen could be back in the lineup as early as Monday. The Jays are looking for more offensive output from the catcher slot, as Alejandro Kirk is hitting a paltry .170/.259/.170 on the season.

Jansen (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen will serve as Buffalo's designated hitter Wednesday and, if that goes well, he will catch for them Friday. It's been reported that Jansen is targeting a late-April return, so it would seem he will be with Buffalo for a little while before being activated. He's been out since mid-March with a small fracture in his right wrist.

Jansen (wrist) is tracking toward a late-April return, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen has progressed to taking batting practice as he works his way back from a small fracture in his right wrist. He will need a handful of rehab games before returning and it's not clear when that rehab assignment will begin, but Jansen should be activated within the next couple weeks if all continues to go well.

Jansen (wrist) caught two live batting practice sessions and took batting practice of his own on the field Thursday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

He's slated to face a high-velocity pitching machine next. The Blue Jays are hoping Jansen will be ready to begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Dunedin on Sunday, when he would catch fellow rehabber Alek Manoah (shoulder). Jansen has been out with a small fracture in his right wrist.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Jansen (wrist) resumed swinging a bat Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to taking swings, Jansen also participated in long-tossing. The next steps for the catcher are to take batting practice and face high velocity, though there isn't a timeline for those activities yet. Jansen landed on the 10-day IL on Thursday after sustaining a small fracture in his right wrist March 15.

The Blue Jays placed Jansen (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

With Jansen on the shelf to begin the season, Alejandro Kirk will take over as the Blue Jays' clear No. 1 catcher, while Brian Serven was added to the 40-man roster and will serve as Kirk's understudy. Jansen sustained a small fracture in his right wrist March 15 but could soon resume baseball activities, at which point a clearer target date for his season debut might come into focus.

Jansen (wrist) hopes to begin throwing this weekend, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The small fracture Jansen was diagnosed with nearly a week ago was in his right hand, so it would seem to be a good sign that he's nearly ready to throw. A stint on the injured list to begin the season would appear to be a virtual certainty, but the hope is that Jansen won't need to miss much time.

Jansen was diagnosed with a broken bone in his wrist Friday and is expected to be sidelined for at least the next two weeks, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jansen suffered the injury on a hit-by-pitch Wednesday, and it now appears he'll be sidelined for Opening Day. Manager John Schneider indicated the club is hoping his absence would be limited to about two weeks, per Jayson Stark of The Athletic, which would allow the 28-year-old backstop to return during the first weekend of the regular season. Given where the fracture happened, however, that timeline seems overly optimistic, and a stint on the injured list to open the campaign is likely. Alejandro Kirk should serve as Toronto's primary catcher in the meantime, with Brian Serven or Payton Henry the likely backup.
