Jankowski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Miami is bringing a lefty (Braxton Garrett) to the hill for the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Jankowski will give way in center field to the righty-hitting Luke Williams. Jankowski looks like he could fill a strong-side platoon role at the position until the Phillies get Odubel Herrera (ankle) back from the 10-day injured list.

Jankowski went 3-for-3 with a double and four RBI in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
He has started six of the last eight games and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout off the bench in Friday's nightcap. This uptick in playing time coincides somewhat with Odubel Herrera landing on the injured list with ankle tendinitis. He is now hitting .333 with more walks than strikeouts, one home run and three steals in 54 plate appearances. Jankowski should continue starting against righties in the short term.

Jankowski went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 15-10 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old started in center field and batted eighth with Odubel Herrera (ankle/wrist) out Tuesday. Jankowski walked and stole second in the second inning before scoring on an error. In the seventh, he got aboard on catcher's interference and scored on a Jean Segura single. Jankowski has hit well in a bench role this year, but he's seen just 35 plate appearances in 25 games. He could be in line for more starts while Herrera is on the mend.

Jankowski went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, three RBI, three runs and a walk in Wednesday's 13-12 loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder received more than two at-bats for the first time this season and absolutely raked, leading the game with seven total bases and launching his first home run since 2018. Jankowski is unlikely to usurp Andrew McCutchen as the starting left fielder, but performances like these will certainly lead to more frequent playing time for the 30-year-old.

Jankowski walked in his only plate appearance and stole a base in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski stepped up the plate in the eighth as a pinch hitter for Ronald Torreyes and ended up drawing a walk and also stole second for his first stolen base since he was called up May 30. The 30-year-old has just three hits and a run scored in nine plate appearances this year and will continue to fill a depth role in the outfield.

Jankowski's contract was selected by the Phillies on Sunday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Roman Quinn hitting the 60-day injured list with an Achilles injury, the Phillies have now turned to Jankowski to provide some stability to their outfield. With Bryce Harper (forearm) also on the injured list, Jankowski figures to see the field a decent amount in the coming days.

The Phillies reassigned Jankowski to their minor-league camp Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With Philadelphia demoting Jankowski and Scott Kingery on Sunday, the team will have to decide between Roman Quinn (illness), Matt Joyce, Adam Haseley and Odubel Herrera for three outfield spots on the Opening Day roster. Jankowski will likely report to Lehigh Valley once the Triple-A season begins in May.

Jankowski signed with Philadelphia as a non-roster invitee Monday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski finds himself on a roster without a clear primary option in center field, as neither Roman Quinn, Adam Haseley, Scott Kingery nor Mickey Moniak has established themselves as a clear everyday player. While that means Jankowski has found himself in perhaps one of his best possible landing spots, there's little reason to think he'll move to the front of that group, as he's a lifetime .238/.315/.313 hitter who has only received 41 big-league plate appearances over the last two seasons. It will likely take an injury or two just for him to win a bench spot.

Jankowski cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old spent the final month of the season at the alternate training site, and he's now been removed from the 40-man roster following the end of the season. Jankowski appeared in only 16 games in 2020, going 1-for-15 with two stolen bases, seven strikeouts and two walks in 17 plate apperances.

Jankowski was optioned to Cincinnati's alternate camp site Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Across 16 appearances for the Reds this season, Jankowski is 1-for-15 with a pair of steals and a 2:7 BB:K. Jose Garcia was added to the big-league roster in a corresponding move. Jankowski will remain on the team's taxi squad as outfield depth.
