Jankowski isn't in the Rangers' lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed Reid Detmers will begin Friday's contest on the bump for Los Angeles, meaning the left-handed bat of Jankowski will remain out of the lineup. While he sits, Ezequiel Duran, Wyatt Langford and Adolis Garcia will make up the Rangers' outfield trio.

Jankowski went 1-for-1 with a run scored in Friday's 9-2 loss to Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski pinch hit for Robbie Grossman in the eighth inning and scored on a throwing error. He had been placed on waivers Thursday but went unclaimed and is back with the Rangers to continue in a limited role. Jankowski has just 22 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

The Rangers placed Jankowski on waivers Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In an effort from Texas to shed a bit of payroll, Jankowski is now available for any team to claim for the final month of the year. However, the 33-year-old owns a .491 OPS through 167 plate appearances on the year and has gone just 1-for-17 since the All-Star break, so he will most likely pass through waivers unclaimed and remain with the Rangers.

Jankowski will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
With Josh Smith receiving a day off, Jankowski will re-enter the Texas lineup for the first time since last Thursday. Jankowski has gone just 1-for-13 at the dish since the All-Star break, and he's put together a lowly .200/.259/.240 line over 162 plate appearances on the season. Even with the Rangers fading from the playoff picture heading into the final month of the season, Jankowski is unlikely to see a major spike in opportunities, given his status as a 32-year-old underperforming journeyman on an expiring contract.

Jankowski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
After starting in four of the preceding five games, the lefty-hitting Jankowski finds himself on the bench for the second matchup in a row versus a right-hander (Dean Kremer). Jankowski appears to have ceded his regular spot in the lineup to Justin Foscue, who will get a second consecutive start at designated hitter after being called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Jankowski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski has been the Rangers' favored option of late for the final spot in their regular lineup, as he had started in each of the previous three contests and five of the previous six games. However, the 32-year-old will hit the bench for the final game before the All-Star break as the Rangers make room for Andrew Knizner behind the plate and deploy their top catcher, Jonah Heim, at designated hitter.
