Jansen was pulled Wednesday within the backside of the fifth after he grounded out in his final at-bat and sprinted to first.
The group has not made a roster transfer, although Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi experiences triple-A catcher Tyler Heineman has a locker within the Blue Jays’ clubhouse and is on the taxi squad. Alejandro Kirk will begin at catcher.
Jansen is slashing .207/.273/.413 with six house runs and 26 RBIs this season.
The struggling Jays have shuffled their lineup for Thursday’s sport. With George Springer getting the time without work, Bo Bichette strikes into the leadoff spot.
Left-fielder Daulton Varsho is as much as the No. 2 spot, whereas the little-used Nathan Lukes makes his second begin in a row — enjoying proper discipline and batting sixth. Varsho has catching expertise, so he’s an choice at that place for the Blue Jays in a pinch.
Cavan Biggio bats ninth and performs second base.
