Impact Jansen has only played in 19 games this season, as he'd previously missed over a month with a strained oblique. He's yet to officially return to the injured list, but such a move is expected to come soon. The fracture is apparently smaller and more stable than most, but a timeline won't become clear for his return until 10 days into his absence, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca. Zack Collins was recalled to split time behind the plate with Alejandro Kirk.

Hurts hand in win Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said after Monday's 8-0 win over the Royals that Jansen will undergo precautionary X-rays on his left hand, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports...
Impact Montoyo said Jansen was "fine" after being hit on the hand by a pitch in the eighth inning, and the catcher was still able to finish the game behind the plate in spite of the injury. Nonetheless, the Blue Jays want to ensure Jansen isn't dealing with any structural damage to the hand, so he'll be sent in for some scans. Even if the X-rays reveal no damage, Jansen could still be a candidate to head to the bench for Tuesday's game.
