Danny Jansen - Battling groin tightness Jansen was pulled from Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay due to left groin tightness.
Impact More details on Jansen's injury have now been revealed, but there is still no word surrounding the severity of his groin tightness. If Jansen is forced to miss some time, Alejandro Kirk will likely fill in as Toronto's primary backstop.

Danny Jansen - Leaves with apparent injury Jansen was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rays with an apparent injury, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
Impact Jansen might have tweaked something while running out a grounder in the top of the fifth inning, as he didn't come back out for defense in the bottom of the frame. The Blue Jays should have more on the catcher's status soon.

Kevin Kiermaier - Sitting Wednesday Kiermaier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact With Tampa Bay bringing southpaw Shane McClanahan to the hill Wednesday, the lefty-hitting Kiermaier will retreat to the bench after going 2-for-8 with a run scored and an RBI between the first two games of the series with his former team. Nathan Lukes will pick up a start in the outfield while Kiermaier sits.

Brandon Belt - Idle versus lefty Belt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact The lefty-hitting Belt will retreat to the bench while the Rays bring ace southpaw Shane McClanahan to the mound Wednesday. George Springer will get a day out of the outfield and will replace Belt as the Blue Jays' designated hitter.
MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alejandro Kirk - Relegated to bench Wednesday Kirk is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact Now on the bench for the fourth time in six games, Kirk looks like he'll be stuck in a part-time role at catcher and/or designated hitter until he can begin to catch fire at the plate. Though he's getting on base at a strong .353 clip thus far in 2023, Kirk isn't hitting the ball with much authority, as his ISO of .090 is down 40 points from last season. Since Danny Jansen remains the superior defender behind the plate, he'll likely continue to get the bulk of the starts at catcher at Kirk's expense.

Adam Cimber - Scoreless outing in return Cimber gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning during Tuesday's rout of the Rays.
Impact It wouldn't have been possible to find a lower-leverage spot for Cimber in his return from the injured list -- the Jays were up 20-1 when he took the mound -- but the appearance was still a success as he tossed nine of 14 pitches for strikes, and the one hit he allowed came when Christian Bethancourt fought off a fastball above the strike zone and slapped it the other way for a single. Cimber looked good early in the season before being shut down due to back issues, and if he stays healthy the sidearming right-hander should be a key part of the middle-inning bridge to closer Jordan Romano.

Daulton Varsho - Big night in Tampa Varsho went 2-for-6 with two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's rout of the Rays
Impact There was plenty of offense to go around in the Toronto lineup as the Blue Jays nearly set franchise records with a 27-hit, 20-run eruption, and every starter recorded at least two hits. Varsho had gone 13 straight games without registering multiple hits, slashing just .125/.160/.271 during his slump, but this may have been the spark the 26-year-old needed to get his bat going.
MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bo Bichette - Three hits in Tuesday's romp Bichette went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Tuesday's rout of the Rays.
Impact The Blue Jays nearly set franchise records with a 20-run, 27-hit outburst, and Bichette carved out his share of the production. It's the third time in the last six games the shortstop has rapped out three hits, and since the calendar flipped to May he's slashing .333/.375/.489 with three homers, a steal, 12 runs and 12 RBI in 21 contests.

Whit Merrifield - Stays hot Tuesday Merrifield went 3-for-6 with one double, three runs scored and a steal in Tuesday's win over the Rays.
Impact Merrifield extended his hitting streak to five games, going 10-for-19 with a home run and two steals in that span. The 34-year-old second baseman has looked like his old self after a down 2022 season. Merrifield is now slashing .295/.345/.397 with two homers, 19 RBI, 24 runs scored and 14 steals (in 15 attempts) through 171 plate appearances.

Matt Chapman - Homers again Tuesday Chapman went 2-for-5 with a homer, three RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Tuesday's 20-1 victory over the Rays.
Impact Chapman picked up his second stolen base of the year in the fifth inning, matching his total from 2022, before swatting his seventh home run, a two-run shot in the ninth. Chapman has hit safely in four straight games, going 5-for-17 with two homers in that span. He's slashing .302/.382/.522 with 26 runs scored and 27 RBI through 207 plate appearances this season.
