Sprints pregame Monday Jansen (groin) did some sprints pregame Monday at Rogers Centre, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Impact It would seem to bode well for Jansen being ready for a rehab assignment soon, if the Blue Jays think he needs one. The catcher is eligible now to return from a left groin strain which has kept him out of commission for the last week-and-a-half.

Lands on injured list The Blue Jays placed Jansen on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left groin strain.

Impact Jansen suffered a groin injury while running to first base Wednesday against Tampa Bay, and he will now officially be forced to sit out until early June. Alejandro Kirk will likely fill in as Toronto's primary catcher while Jansen is on the IL, and Tyler Heineman -- who was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday -- figures to be Kirk's backup.

Undergoing MRI Jansen will undergo an MRI on his injured left groin Thursday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Jansen injured his groin while running to first base during Wednesday's game against the Rays. The Blue Jays have Tyler Heineman with the club on the taxi squad in case he's needed to replace Jansen on the roster. They do have Daulton Varsho available as an emergency catcher, though, so they could wait it out with Jansen if they feel he'll be available in a day or two.

Not in Thursday's lineup Jansen (groin) is not in Thursday's lineup versus the Rays, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Jansen exited Wednesday's game due to left groin tightness. Notable is that Tyler Heineman has joined the Blue Jays on the taxi squad, seemingly as protection for Jansen. Alejandro Kirk will catch Alek Manoah on Thursday.

Impact More details on Jansen's injury have now been revealed, but there is still no word surrounding the severity of his groin tightness. If Jansen is forced to miss some time, Alejandro Kirk will likely fill in as Toronto's primary backstop.

MAY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with apparent injury Jansen was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rays with an apparent injury, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Jansen might have tweaked something while running out a grounder in the top of the fifth inning, as he didn't come back out for defense in the bottom of the frame. The Blue Jays should have more on the catcher's status soon.

Smacks sixth homer Jansen went 3-for-6 with two doubles, a homer, three RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Rays.

Impact Jansen extended Toronto's lead to 3-0 with an RBI double off Taj Bradley in the fourth inning before capping a nine-run ninth with a two-run homer off catcher-turned-pitcher Christian Bethancourt.

Impact With runners on first and third and one out in the bottom of the 10th inning, Jansen yanked a first-pitch slider from Wandy Peralta into the left-field seats to net the win for the Blue Jays. Jansen is starting to find a groove at the plate after a sluggish start to the season, and over his last seven games he's batting .259 (7-for-27) with three doubles, a homer and eight RBI.

Catching on Tuesday Jansen is starting at catcher and batting seventh for the Blue Jays on Tuesday against the Yankees, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact He'll be behind the plate for Kevin Gausman while Alejandro Kirk grabs some pine. Jansen has now started three of the last four contests.

Hits bench Monday Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Jansen had started behind the dish in three of the past four games, but he'll cede catching duties to Alejandro Kirk as the Blue Jays open a four-game slate with the Yankees on Monday. Though Kirk earned an All-Star nod in 2022 largely on the basis of his production with the bat, his modest .679 OPS so far this season has resulted in him losing out on some starts to Jansen. While Jansen remains less productive at the plate (.182/.258/.330 slash line in 97 plate appearances), the upgrade he offers on the defensive end should guarantee him at least a part-time role until Kirk starts tapping into more power.
