Jansen was removed from Thursday's game against the Guardians after taking a pitch off his right wrist, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen got hit by a 87.7-mph Noah Syndergaard changeup in the top of the sixth inning. He ran for himself before the Blue Jays called on Alejandro Kirk to replace him at catcher for the bottom of the sixth. Jansen finished the day 0-for-1 with a walk, the HBP and a run scored.

Jansen was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox with right wrist inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
As Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star notes, Jansen was plunked on his wrist by a Shintaro Fujinami pitch during Wednesday's game. It would seem Jansen is still dealing with some lingering effects, which brings his availability for the rest of the weekend into question. Jansen has an .853 OPS and four homers in 16 games since the All-Star break.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 13-3 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
He took Kyle Bradish deep in the second inning to get the Jays on the board. Jansen has gone yard three times in his last five starts, and he's now tied his career high with 15 homers on the season while already establishing a new personal best with 48 RBI. His .227/.289/.486 slash line, however, still limits his appeal in shallower fantasy formats.

EDGE Analysis
Jansen will get a breather after he was included in the lineup in each of the previous four games, with three of those starts coming at catcher. Alejandro Kirk will step in behind the plate Monday while Brandon Belt handles designated-hitter duties.

Jansen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop took Alex Vesia deep in the sixth inning, pushing Toronto's lead to 6-0. Jansen is having a strong July, slashing .308/.400/.615 through 15 games (11 starts) with three of his 13 homers on the season, and he's now two long balls shy of tying the career high he set in 2022.

Jansen (forearm) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Jansen missed the Blue Jays' last two games due to a left forearm contusion, but he's shown enough improvement to handle his usual duties behind the plate in the series finale. Alejandro Kirk will head to the bench after catching Monday and Tuesday.
