Strong start to season Jansen went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

Impact That's now two starts and two homers to begin the season for Jansen, who is looking to prove he deserves the bulk of the work behind the plate even with Alejandro Kirk on the roster as well. Jansen's power has never been in question, only his ability to get to it in games, but if he can improve on his career .215 batting average, a breakout campaign could follow.

Belts first homer Jansen went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 10-8 win over the Rangers.

Impact His eighth-inning blast off Greg Holland gave the Blue Jays an insurance run during a game in which they were down 7-0 at one point before competing the largest comeback on a team's Opening Day since 1950. jansen's playing time is in question this season with Alejandro Kirk pushing for playing time, but Kirk got the nod at DH on Friday, and if Jansen keeps hitting, he'll keep finding his way onto manager Charlie Montoyo's lineup card.

APRIL 9, 2022 • Associated Press

On track for Opening Day Jansen went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

Impact The whiff was only his second of the spring in 17 at-bats, and while Jansen hasn't made a lot of contact in camp, it's been loud contact -- he has two doubles and a homer among his four hits. The 26-year-old catcher figures to split time with Alejandro Kirk behind the plate this season for the Blue Jays, but if Kirk gets extensive work at DH, it would open up more playing time for Jansen. This season could provide his last chance to prove he has a place in the Jays' future plans before the arrival of top prospect Gabriel Moreno.
