Jankowski elected free agency after clearing waivers Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski was recently bumped off Seattle's 40-man roster after he got caught up in a numbers game in the Mariners outfield following Mitch Haniger's recent return from the injured list. Between stops with the Mets and Mariners this season, Jankowski has appeared in 44 games while getting on base at a .281 clip and contributing three stolen bases. As he hits the open market, the 31-year-old could have some appeal for teams seeking a speed- and defense-oriented fourth or fifth outfielder.

Jankowski was designated for assignment Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Primarily used as a defensive replacement and pinch runner, Jankowski is hitless in his last 30 MLB at-bats. Jake Lamb will take his place on the active roster.

The Mariners claimed Jankowski off waivers from the Mets on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The addition of Jankowski provides the Mariners with some much-needed depth in the outfield while all of Julio Rodriguez (wrist), Dylan Moore (back), Taylor Trammell (hamstring) and Mitch Haniger (ankle) are on the injured list and while Sam Haggerty (forehead) is day-to-day. The latter three players could be fully available by the weekend, so Jankowski may not have much longevity on the Mariners' active roster.

Jankowski was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old has appeared in 43 games for the Mets this year but was jettisoned from the 26-man and 40-man rosters Friday to make room for Tyler Naquin, who was acquired from the Reds. Jankowski has a .167/.286/.167 slash line and is hitless in 27 contests going back to early May.

Jankowski is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski went 0-for-8 with two walks while starting in all three of the Mets' contests in Atlanta earlier this week, but he'll return to the bench Thursday with Jeff McNeil (paternity list) and Starling Marte (groin) checking back into the lineup following three- and four-game absences, respectively. McNeil, Marte, Brandon Nimmo and Mark Canha will likely represent the Mets' top options in the outfield moving forward, so Jankowski's starts are expected to be few and far between.

Jankowski will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game in Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Following his reinstatement from the injured list Monday, Jankowski will pick up a third consecutive start in right field in place of Starling Marte (groin) after going 0-for-5 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch in the first two games of the series. The Mets haven't dismissed the possibility of placing Marte on the IL, but with Jeff McNeil (personal) set to return from the paternity list Thursday, Jankowski may not be in store for regular playing time in the outfield beyond Wednesday.

The Mets reinstated Jankowski (hand) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. He'll start in right field and bat eighth in Monday's game against Atlanta, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Before he was placed on the IL in late May after requiring surgery to repair a fractured bone in his left hand, Jankowski had been serving as a fourth outfielder for the Mets. He'll draw a start in his return to the big club, however, as the Mets' outfield depth will be tested to begin the week with Jeff McNeil (personal) on the paternity list and with Starling Marte (groin) considered day-to-day. Once both McNeil and Marte are back in the fold, the Mets likely won't have much of a need to carry Jankowski and Ender Inciarte as reserve outfielders, so expect one of the two to get moved off the 40-man roster.

Manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday that Jankowski (hand) might return during the Mets' series against Atlanta next week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a walk. He should remain in the minors through the weekend but appears to be closing in on a return within the next week. Once the 31-year-old is activated, it's possible that he serves as the Mets' fourth outfielder.

Jankowski (hand) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski has been on the shelf since May 27 after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured bone on his left hand. The 31-year-old is expected to need multiple games in the minors to get his timing back at the plate, so he won't be a lock to come off the 10-day injured list by the weekend. Whenever he's activated, Jankowski could unseat Ender Inciarte as the Mets' fourth outfielder.

Jankowski (hand) is hopeful that he'll be able to return from the 10-day injured list by the first week of July, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski has a bone test scheduled for Tuesday, and he hopes to be cleared for more intense baseball activities afterward. Assuming he's cleared to ramp up his workload next week, the outfielder will likely be able to begin a rehab assignment sometime in late June prior to rejoining the Mets.
