Texas Rangers outfielder Travis Jankowski had to be removed from the game due to a possible injury against the White Sox Wednesday. He slid awkwardly into second base, resulting in an inning-ending double play. To start the bottom of the eighth inning, Josh Smith took over Jankowski's position in left field. Following the game's conclusion, there is expected to be an update regarding his condition and status. The 32-year-old only provides a little pop at the plate, but his speed is an asset in ...

The Texas Rangers placed outfielder Travis Jankowski (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 8) on Tuesday with a right-hamstring strain and recalled catcher Sam Huff from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Jankowski suffered a mild hamstring injury in the win over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday, so he should be able to come off the injured list when he's eligible on May 19. The 31-year-old speedster offers little with the bat but is useful in deeper fantasy ...

Texas Rangers outfielder Travis Jankowski (hamstring) is probably headed to the injured list with a hamstring injury, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. The 31-year-old sat out of Monday's contest after he was removed from Sunday's game with the ailment. Jankowski is in the midst of the best offensive campaign of his career, slashing .309/.382/.412 with 14 runs, nine RBI, and five stolen bases over 25 games. He's earned the starting left-field job with his solid play, and ...

Texas Rangers outfielder Travis Jankowski is out of Monday's starting lineup against the Seattle Mariners with a hamstring injury. Jankowski was removed from Sunday's contest early with what appeared to be a tight hamstring as he looked awkward heading back to the dugout after crossing home plate in the second inning. The veteran has been a nice addition for the Rangers as he is hitting .309 with a 9.1% BB% and five stolen bases across 25 appearances on the campaign. Robbie Grossman will take ...

Texas Rangers outfielder Travis Jankowski (hip) felt he was in "a good spot" on Thursday after leaving Wednesday's series finale against the Cincinnati Reds with left-hip tightness. Jankowski said a trip to the injured list is "unlikely" and thinks he'll be an option to return to Friday's lineup. "Maybe one day I'll learn. But I see a ball go up, I'm like a dog -- I have to go get it," Jankowski said. In a part-time role for the Rangers so far in 2023, the 31-year-old is hitting .340 with an ...

Texas Rangers outfielder Travis Jankowski has left Wednesday's game against the Reds early due to left hip tightness. Jankowski was seemingly injured after diving for a ball in the outfield and was replaced by Leody Taveras who took over in center field and hit second in the lineup in Jankowski's stead. It's been a scorching-hot start for the speedy Jankowski even if he lacks power. Prior to Wednesday, he was hitting .356 with four stolen bases across 51 trips to the plate. According to wRC+, ...

Texas Rangers outfielder Travis Jankowski is expected to make the Opening Day roster as a bench player with Leody Taveras (oblique) set to open up the 2023 regular season on the injured list with a left oblique strain. Jankowski will mostly be useful for his defense and speed on the basepaths off the bench for the Rangers, but fantasy managers in mixed leagues can ignore him for now. The 31-year-old left-handed hitter spent the 2022 campaign with the New York Mets and Seattle Mariners, hitting...

The Texas Rangers and outfielder Travis Jankowski agreed to a minor-league deal with a non-roster invitation to the big-league camp. In 2022 the 31-year-old played for the New York Mets and Seattle Mariners. With the Mets, Jankowski collected a 35 OPS+ with just a .445 OPS through 63 plate appearances. He was picked up by the Mariners and made just one plate appearance in the pros before Seattle DFA'd him four days later. The former first-rounder is valued mainly for his defensive attributes, ...

The Seattle Mariners designated outfielder Travis Jankowski for assignment on Friday in order to make room for newly acquired infielder/outfielder Jake Lamb. Lamb, a Seattle native, wasn't in the lineup on Friday against Los Angeles Angels left-hander Patrick Sandoval, but he'll likely be used regularly against right-handed pitchers, against whom he has an .808 OPS this year. He'll likely play a corner outfield spot and third base on days that Eugenio Suarez is rested. Jankowski was ...

New York Mets outfielder Travis Jankowski (hand) had surgery on Friday to fix a metacarpal fracture on his left hand. The Mets placed him on the 10-day injured list, and he's expected to miss six to eight weeks. In corresponding moves, the team recalled right-handed pitchers Stephen Nogosek and Yoan Lopez from the minors. Jankowski had been serving as a bench outfielder for the Mets and therefore wasn't of much use to fantasy managers. He had been hitting .209 (9-for-43) with no home runs, ...
