9 Danny Jansen C

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Jansen went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Saturday's game as his September struggles -- .178/.288/.333 slash line in 45 at-bats -- continued. Reese McGuire grabs another start behind the plate for the Blue Jays, and the two figure to battle for starting catching duties come spring training.

Jansen takes a seat for the third time in the last four games, as he hasn't seen back-to-back starts since Sept. 13. Reese McGuire will start behind the plate and bat sixth for the Blue Jays.

Jansen hits the bench for the third time in the last four games as the Blue Jays appear to be protecting the young catcher down the stretch. The 24-year-old had a hot start when he was first recalled in August, but is slashing .171/.256/.371 over 35 at-bats in September.
