On bench again Monday
Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.
Analyse
Since coming off the 60-day injured list last Tuesday, Jansen has yet to start consecutive games behind the plate. Jansen -- who has posted a career-worst .548 OPS over 152 plate appearances on the season -- looks like he could be part of a three-headed timeshare at catcher with Elias Diaz and Logan O'Hoppe.

Taking seat Wednesday
Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Analyse
Jansen made his return from the 60-day injured list and picked up his first start for the Rangers since June 1 in Tuesday's 5-0 win, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts while playing nine innings behind the dish. The 31-year-old will likely see the majority of the starts at catcher now that he's healthy again, but he'll give way to Elias Diaz on Wednesday.

Hitless in return
Jansen went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.
Analyse
Jansen played his first game since being activated from the 60-day injured list. He'd been out since the beginning of June due to a forearm injury. He's expected to serve as the team's primary starter behind the dish, although a .165/.269/.299 slash line limits his fantasy appeal.

Activated off 60-day IL
The Rangers activated Jansen (forearm) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Analyse
Jansen is finally ready to rejoin the Rangers after missing more than two months with a right forearm strain. The veteran catcher slashed .188/.291/.312 with three homers in 46 games before getting hurt and went 5-for-15 in five rehab contests. Though Jansen will likely receive the bulk of the reps at catcher for the Rangers down the stretch, he could be eased back into a full workload after missing so much time.
