Jankowski was diagnosed with a broken wrist after undergoing an MRI on Monday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski is expected to miss extended time after breaking his wrist on a diving attempt in the outfield during Sunday's exhibition, although an exact timetable for his return has yet to be set. This is a significant blow for the Padres, who will miss his left-handed bat and impressive speed.

Jankowski took himself out of Sunday's game against the Rangers after appearing to injure his arm on a dive attempt, Bob Scanlan of FOX Sports San Diego reports.
EDGE Analysis
Specifics of the injury remain murky but Jankowski immediately was grabbing his arm as he exited the game. Hunter Renfroe took over in right field for the Friars.

Jankowski signed a one-year, $1.165 million contract with the Padres on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski put together a respectable 2018 campaign, hitting .259/.332/.346 with 24 stolen bases in 117 games for the Padres. While Jankowski is on the outside looking in at a starting gig, the fact that he hits lefty helps in a San Diego outfield consisting of mostly right-handed hitters.

Jankowski went 3-for-4 with a triple, a home run and a pair of runs scored in Wednesday's 3-2 win over San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski turned in his best offensive output of the season, falling a double short of the cycle. The 26-year-old doubled his career high in homers with four, but his primary fantasy asset this year has been his plus speed (24 of 30 on stolen base attempts). Jankowski filled in for Manuel Margot in center Wednesday, and he should resume his fourth-outfielder role over the final four games of the campaign.

Jankowski went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski's fifth-inning steal off the duo of Luis Castillo and Tucker Barnhart had to be reviewed, but it ultimately stood for his 22nd swipe of the year. The 26-year-old has been a strong source of speed this season, but he is no longer seeing regular playing time, starting just one of the Friars' last four contests.

Jankowski is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski went 6-for-20 with a solo home run and a stolen base while starting six of the Padres' past seven games. The speedy outfielder should continue to see regular action against right-handed pitching, though he'll head to the bench versus lefty starters, as will be the case Sunday with Kyle Freeland on the mound for Colorado. Franmil Reyes replaces Jankowski in right field.

Jankowski is on the bench Wednesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski has started just twice in the Padres' last eight games. His previous five days off were all against lefties, but he's now sitting against the right-handed Erasmo Ramirez. Franmil Reyes has started all eight of those games, with Manuel Margot and Hunter Renfroe each starting seven, so that trio appears to be ahead of Jankowski at the moment.

Jankowski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski led off the home half of the first with a home run on Felix Hernandez's first pitch of the night, and the run would ultimately prove critical in the 2-1 win. The lefty won't hit for power very often -- the three home runs are already a career high -- but he's now hitting .260 and ranks in the top 10 in the National League with 21 stolen bases.

Jankowski went 1-for-2 with a stolen base Sunday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski didn't draw the start Sunday with southpaw Hyun-jin Ryu on the mound, but he entered the game on a double switch in the fifth inning. In the eighth inning, he swiped his 21st stolen base of the season, enough to make him interesting to teams in need of stolen bases. The Padres have run into a heavy stretch of matchups against southpaws, which has limited his playing time over the past week. However, he should continue to draw the majority of the starts in right field when right-handers are on the mound.
