Jansen will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Though he's occupying a prominent spot in the order against Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez, Jansen looks like he may have temporarily fallen into the short side of a platoon at catcher. The lefty-hitting Ben Rortvedt has started in each of the Rays' last four matchups versus righties, while each of Jansen's last four starts have come against lefties.
