Jankowski went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Royals in the second game of a doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski got aboard with a fielder's choice in the fourth inning and promptly stole second, but he wasn't able to score. The 29-year-old has been used sparingly this season, but he's picked up two stolen bases and three runs scored in 16 plate appearances.

Jankowski has been added to the Reds' starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, batting eighth while playing center field.
EDGE Analysis
Nick Senzel was a late scratch to the lineup shortly after Mike Moustakas was also scratched due to illness. Jankowski could be a sneaky source of stolen bases if he is able to get on-base consistently.

Jankowski was informed Tuesday that he'll make the Reds' 30-man roster for Opening Day, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski was competing for one of the final roster spots during camp, but he impressed enough during intrasquad play to be named to the roster. The 28-year-old slashed .182/.250/.182 with two stolen bases over 25 games last season. His most likely track toward playing time in 2020 should be as a pinch runner and defensive replacement.

Jankowski went 3-for-3 with a stolen base while also getting caught once in Sunday's scrimmage. He's vying for one of the final Reds roster spots, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski is on the fringe of making the roster, as evidenced by him shuttling between the Reds' major league camp at Great American Ballpark and their minor league camp at Prasco. His most likely way of making the team is to be their designated pinch-runner, as otherwise the Reds are flush with outfielders.

Jankowski will be a part of the Reds' 60-man player pool this season.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being on the 40-man roster, Jankowski was not one of the six outfielders who will be training at Great American Ball Park, which speaks to where he stands in the outfield hierarchy. He should offer center field depth but is unlikely to get much playing time in 2020.

Jankowski (hamstring) remains on a running program, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski isn't yet fully cleared from his injury, but he's on his way and probably will be ready to compete once the Reds resume activities to get ready for the season.

Jankowski (hamstring) hadn't yet returned to game action before Thursday's suspension of spring training, Gary Schatz of The Dayton Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds' spring training facility in Goodyear, Arizona will be open to the players to continue voluntary workouts and for injured players to rehab, but updates on the likes of Jankowski and others could be few and far between.

Jankowski left Saturday's game against the Padres with an apparent hamstring injury, Bill Center of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski already appeared to be near the back of a crowded battle for playing time in the Reds' outfield. Any significant amount of time lost to injury this spring would likely make him a loser in that battle. Injuries are unfortunately nothing new for the 28-year-old, who played fewer than 30 games in two of the last three seasons.

Jankowski signed a one-year, $1.05 million contract with the Reds on Monday, avoiding arbitration, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a solid season with Triple-A El Paso in which he hit .313/.393/.350, Jankowski was traded to the Reds in late October and will remain with the team in 2020. The 28-year-old will likely serve as outfield depth with the major-league club next year, which limits his fantasy value unless injuries occur.

Jankowski was traded to the Reds on Thursday in exchange for international cap space.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski was effective with Triple-A El Paso last season, hitting .313/.393/.350 with 12 RBI in 39 games, which earned him some time with the major-league club. The 28-year-old saw limited action in the majors, recording just 22 at-bats with a .432 OPS. He'll hope to turn things around in Cincinnati, but is unlikely to see consistent playing time in the majors unless there are injuries ahead of him in the outfield.
