Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: In two-hole Monday
Jansen is starting at catcher and batting second in Monday's game versus the White Sox.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider has been changing things up with his lineups in an effort to get his offense going, and he's trying something new again Monday in batting Jansen higher than fifth for the first time this season. The catcher is slashing .313/.384/.625 on the year, so it's a move that certainly makes sense on paper.

Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Collects five RBI
Jansen went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, five RBI and two runs scored in Monday's victory over the White Sox.
This was the third time in Jansen's career that he has driven in five or more runs in a game, marking the first occurrence since Oct. 1, 2022. The highlight of 29-year-old catcher's day was launching a 377-foot homer off Jordan Leasure in the seventh inning. The Blue Jays backstop has swung a hot bat to open the season, slashing .333/.397/.681 over his first 78 plate appearances.

Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Good to go Tuesday
Jansen (back) is starting behind the plate and batting fifth Tuesday against the Orioles.
Jansen sat out Monday for the second straight game due to back spasms but is ready to play Tuesday. The fact the 29-year-old is immediately returning to work behind the plate indicates the injury wasn't a serious concern. Jansen has carried a hot bat through nine games in May with a 1.101 OPS in 28 at-bats.

Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Nursing back spasms
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles due to back spasms, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The injury explains why Jansen is on the bench for a second straight game after he was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins in what appeared to be a routine maintenance day. Jansen came off the bench and pinch hit for designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach in that contest, and Schneider said that he's hopeful Jansen will be available again Monday, if needed. Alejandro Kirk will pick up another start at catcher in Jansen's stead.

Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Out of starting nine Monday
Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Jansen is on the bench for a second consecutive game, but he didn't get a true day off in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins, as he was summoned from the bench as a pinch hitter and drove in a run in his lone plate appearance. He'll likely get a more proper day of rest Monday while Alejandro Kirk gets another turn behind the plate.
