Shipped to Boston The Blue Jays traded Jansen to the Red Sox on Saturday in exchange for infielders Cutter Coffey and Eddinson Paulino and right-hander Gilberto Batista.

Impact Jansen has split catching duties with Alejandro Kirk this season, logging 228 plate appearances across 61 games. Jansen has had a down season at the plate, posting his worst OPS (.672) and ISO (.157) since 2020 with a .212 batting average. He'll likely notice a decrease in playing time with the Red Sox, as Connor Wong is in the midst of a career season behind the dish with an .802 OPS. Instead, Jansen will likely supplant Reese McGuire as Wong's top backup, though Jansen could also see some at-bats at designated hitter.

Out of Toronto lineup Jansen is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rays.

Impact Jansen has been out of the lineup for back-to-back games and has now started just three of the last eight contests. A .429 OPS since June 1 is surely the primary reason for his dip in playing time, but Jansen is also an impending free agent and, thus, a likely trade candidate, so perhaps the Blue Jays are just wanting to hand the reins to Alejandro Kirk now.

Sitting out again Friday Jansen is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Tigers.

Impact Alejandro Kirk started at catcher in five of the final eight games before the All-Star break and is behind the dish again for the second-half opener. While it might be too soon to say Jansen has been passed up in the pecking order, it does appear to be a 1B and 1B situation after Jansen had previously emerged as the clear top option. Jansen has just a .467 OPS since June 1.
