Jansen is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Tigers.

Alejandro Kirk started at catcher in five of the final eight games before the All-Star break and is behind the dish again for the second-half opener. While it might be too soon to say Jansen has been passed up in the pecking order, it does appear to be a 1A/1B situation at best for Jansen with Kirk after he had previously been the clear top option. Jansen has just a .467 OPS since June 1.
