Jankowski is on the bench for the third straight game Saturday against the Dodgers as the Padres face their third straight lefty in Clayton Kershaw.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski had sat against the last six southpaws the Padres had faced, and he'll make that seven in a row Saturday. Franmil Reyes will draw his third straight start in right field.

Jankowski is out of the lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski will head to the bench with lefty Rich Hill on the bump. Franmil Reyes will pick up another start in the outfield in his absence.

Jankowski is not in the starting lineup against Colorado on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Jankowski will spend the series finale on the bench with left-hander Kyle Freeland on the mound for the Rockies. In his place, Franmil Reyes will start in right field while Freddy Galvis hits atop the order.

Jankowski is not starting Tuesday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski has started against every righty while sitting against every lefty over the Padres' last nine game. Hunter Renfroe, Manuel Margot, and Franmil Reyes will get the starts in the Padres' outfield Tuesday.

Jankowski started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a walk and a pair of runs scored in Saturday's win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski lost his starting job earlier this month, but has now started four of the Friars' last five games while playing all three outfield positions. Hunter Renfroe and Manuel Margot appear to have a tight grasp on left field and center field respectively, but Franmil Reyes' recent slump could elevate the speedy outfielder back into regular playing time against righties in right. If this recent pattern holds, Jankowski can provide value as a stolen-base threat (20 steals in 90 games) while batting in the top third of the order.

Jankowski went 2-for-3 with three runs and four stolen bases to help the Padres to a 9-3 win over the Phillies on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski ran absolutely wild in this contest, with the four swiped bags bringing his total on the season up to 19 in 23 chances. He provides virtually no power with just two home runs and a .328 slugging percentage over 265 at-bats. However, he's sporting a respectable .340 on-base percentage, so as long as he continues to reach base at that clip, his ability on the basepaths will allow him to remain an asset in that category even if he doesn't bring much else to the table.

Jankowski started in center field and went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski returned to the lineup after coming off the bench for the Padres' last three contests. The 26-year-old got the start in center in place of Manuel Margot, who received a routine day off. Jankowski had been receiving semi-regular playing time in right field for the majority of the season, but he is in jeopardy of falling into a fourth-outfielder role with Hunter Renfroe and Franmil Reyes swinging hot bats at the corner spots.

Jankowski is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the Padres facing a right-hander in Chase Anderson, Jankowski will sit for a second straight game as Franmil Reyes picks up another start in the outfield in his stead. Jankowski is hitting just .256/.332/.327 through 78 games this season, so the Padres could look to give the 23-year-old Reyes a more extended look down the stretch.

Jankowski is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski will head to the bench for the second time in the series as the Cubs have started a left-hander in all four games. Franmil Reyes will start in right field and bat seventh for the Padres in the series finale.

Jankowski is not in the lineup against the Cubs on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski will take a seat with southpaw Mike Montgomery on the hill for Chicago. Since the Cubs have another lefty (Jose Quintana) dealing Friday, Jankowski might remain on the bench for the first two games of this series.
