Out Sunday with wrist issue Jansen (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Jansen will be on the bench for a second straight day while he contends with an inflamed right wrist. Alejandro Kirk will get another turn behind the dish in Jansen's stead, catching for starting pitcher Chris Bassitt.

Scratched with wrist inflammation Jansen was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox with right wrist inflammation.

Impact 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.

On bench Thursday Jansen is not in the lineup Thursday against the Orioles.

Impact Alejandro Kirk will start at catcher and hit sixth for the Blue Jays as they take on right-hander Jack Flaherty in his O's debut. Brandon Belt is serving as the Jays' designated hitter and batting second.

Swats 15th homer Jansen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 13-3 loss to the Orioles.

Impact 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.

Impact Jansen went 0-for-1 with a strikeout to begin Sunday's matchup but was replaced by a pinch hitter in the top of the seventh inning. He underwent X-rays that came back negative for a fracture, so he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Drives in three Sunday Jansen went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's win over Arizona.

Impact His bases-loaded double in the bottom of the eighth inning provided vital insurance runs in an eventual 7-5 victory. Jansen has hit safely in six straight games, going 8-for-21 (.381) with two doubles, a homer and seven RBI, and while the 28-year-old catcher has lost over 100 points off last year's career-high .855 OPS, he's on pace to shatter the career-best 15 homers and 44 RBI he recorded in 2022, having already amassed 11 HR and 40 RBI in only 58 games.
