Undergoes surgery Jansen underwent surgery to insert a pin into his fractured right middle finger Thursday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Jansen's procedure will officially keep him out for the remainder of the regular season. Luckily, the Blue Jays have not yet ruled out a return during the postseason, so there's still a chance Jansen is able to aid Toronto in its playoff run. He will finish the 2023 campaign with a .228/.312/.474 slash line alongside 17 homers and 53 RBI across 301 plate appearances.

Heads to bench Sunday Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Jansen will take a seat for the series finale, but the Blue Jays' catching duties have tilted in his favor of late. He had started behind the plate in four of the Blue Jays' previous six games, while Alejandro Kirk picked up the other two starts at catcher during that stretch. Kirk will form a battery with starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi on Sunday.

Kirk has produced a .768 OPS since the All-Star break to improve his case for more playing time.
