Jankowski is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski has been on a tear since earning a promotion to the majors at the end of April, hitting .359/.438/.469 with a homer and seven stolen bases in 19 games, but he'll take his usual seat on the bench with left-hander Gio Gonzalez toeing the rubber for the opposition. In his stead, Manuel Margot will start in center field and hit eighth.

Jankowski led off and went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

There were concerns regarding Jankowski's playing time following the promotion of outfield prospect Franmil Reyes earlier this week, but he has now started three consecutive games with Manuel Margot retreating to bench for two of those contests. This development places the the 26-year-old on the strong side of a platoon in center with the struggling Margot. The move should only be surprising when considering the outfielders' pedigrees, as Jankowski has clearly been the superior center field option, slashing .370/.460/.500 with 11 runs and five steals in just 17 games.

Jankowski led off and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The speedy outfielder has been getting starts in the outfield against right-handed starters with Jose Pirela moving to second base to replace the struggling Carlos Asuaje. Jankowski is batting .267 (4-for-15) with two runs and a steal while starting five of the six games since he was promoted to the majors April 30. The 26-year-old won't provide much in terms of power or batting average, but he can be an accessible source of stolen bases (37 steals in 198 career games) until Wil Myers (oblique) returns later this month.

Jankowski is starting in right field and hitting leadoff Monday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski was promoted to the big club on Sunday and entered San Diego's game against the Mets during the seventh inning. He proceeded to go 1-for-2 and is in line to start Monday's series opener versus San Francisco with Wil Myers (oblique) on the disabled list. He struggled during his time in the majors last season, hitting .187/.282/.213 over 27 games. However he's shown improvement at Triple-A El Paso this season and has hit .363 with a .902 OPS across 22 contests.

Jankowski was promoted to the major leagues Sunday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski was slashing an impressive .363/.452/.450 before being called up from Triple-A El Paso. He figures to see considerable playing time until Wil Myers (oblique) is able to return from the disabled list. The 26-year-old outfielder will look to redeem himself after batting .187 in 27 games for the Padres last season.

Jankowski will be optioned to Triple-A El Paso after failing to make the Opening Day roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears as though Matt Szczur earned the role as the Padres' fourth outfielder instead of Jankowski, who missed a majority of the 2017 season with a bone bruise that he suffered in April. Even in the event that Jankowski were to be called up to the major-league level, it's unlikely that he will make much of an impact for fantasy purposes.

Jankowski has gone 7-for-27 at the plate with three home runs and two stolen bases during Cactus League play.

EDGE Analysis

According to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, Jankowski has credited an emphasis on finding better balance in the box for his increased pull power, an unexpected development for a player who had only seven home runs to his name since entering the professional ranks in 2012. While it's worth noting that one of the three home runs was an inside-the-park job, the two long balls that Jankowski supplied Saturday both easily cleared the wall. Despite the unforeseen power surge, the 26-year-old's game remains steeped in getting on base and taking advantage of his speed on the bases and in tracking flyballs in the outfield. Those skills don't make Jankowski an especially interesting fantasy commodity, though they will help him in his bid to win a reserve role over fellow lefty-hitting outfielder Franchy Cordero.

Jankowski is in the mix for the Padres' fourth outfielder role heading into spring training, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

At the moment, it seems like a three-man race between Jankowski, Matt Szczur and Franchy Cordero, although Alex Dickerson (back) could be in the mix as well if he's healthy. Jankowski's ability to take walks pairs nicely with his speed, but that's where the advantages end. Cordero and Szczur both have some speed to their game, and both seem to offer more offensive upside than Jankowski. Additionally, Cordero and Dickerson both hit left-handed like Jankowski, making it seem like there's no real separating factor between the group of four. The 26-year-old Jankowski has a decent chance to crack the Opening Day roster, but he'll need to put together a good showing in spring training if he wants to make it happen.

Jankowski is out of Saturday's lineup against the Giants, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is only hitting .150 with a 6:1 K:BB in 20 at-bats since being recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 18. Cory Spangenberg will start in left field and hit sixth.

Jankowski is not in the lineup fro Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jankowski will take a seat for the second time in as many games with another lefty (Rich Hill) toeing the rubber for the Dodgers. In his place, Jabari Blash will draw another start in left field, batting seventh.
