Jankowski will hit leadoff in Friday's game against the Reds, according to Jamie Ramsey of the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Regular center fielder Jon Jay will not start Friday for the fourth day in a row, which will give Jankowski another shot to man center field and hit atop the order. Jankowski found plenty of success in that role over the last three days, going 5-for-13 (.385), with two RBI, three runs scored, and four stolen bases.

Jankowski went 2-for-4 with a walk, two steals and two runs in a 7-2 loss against the Orioles on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Unfortunately, he and Matt Kemp combined for 80 percent of the Padres' hits and 100 percent of their run production, which was not even close to sufficient for a win. Jankowski's now stolen three bases in the last two days, but his playing time remains sporadic at best and his power is almost nil, limiting his value to NL-only formats. That said, keep an eye on Jankowski to see if he can harness the batting eye and contact ability that helped him hit well over .300 in the high minors the last two years.

Jankowski is out of the lineup for Friday's lineup against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski just returned to the lineup Thursday after missing the previous two games with a minor ankle injury. He went 1-for-5 with two runs at the leadoff position for Thursday's contest, but will get a day off Friday as Jon Jay gets the nod in center.

Jankowski (ankle) is back in the lineup Thursday, batting leadoff as the Padres' starting center fielder.
EDGE Analysis
After getting a few days off to nurse his sprained ankle, Jankowski will make his return to the lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Nationals. He'll bat leadoff in place of Jon Jay, who will be getting his first day off since May 19.

Jankowski (ankle) is only expected to be out for a day or two, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Andy Green deemed Jankowski unavailable for Tuesday's game after the outfielder suffered a sprained right ankle in Monday's loss to Miami. However, it sounds like Jankowski could be cleared to play as soon as Wednesday, and in the meantime, the Padres could always use Alexi Amarista in left if Melvin Upton Jr. has to shift to center for whatever reason.

Jankowski left Monday's game against the Marlins with a right ankle sprain, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Jankowski's ankle sprain is unknown, but there will likely be more updates regarding his status soon. For now, he is day-to-day.

Janikowski went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a strikeout against the Mariners on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old outfielder has gone .227 (5-for-22) over the past 10 games, and Tuesday's homer was his first one during the current season. Janikowski has been pretty inconsistent this year, and his fantasy value is pretty limited since he doesn't excel in any particular category.

Jankowski will start in center field and bat leadoff for the second straight game Sunday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
There's currently no word of any injury affecting regular center fielder Jon Jay, but Sunday will mark the second straight day that Jankowski will occupy Jay's regular role. It will be the third time in the last six games that manager Andy Green will elect to go with this alignment. Jay owns a respectable OBP for a leadoff man (.340), but it's also possible San Diego wants to get a longer look at the 24-year-old Jankowski, who is getting on base at a .387 clip through his first 31 plate appearances.

Jankowski is in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski will replace Jon Jay in center field for Game 2 of the Padres' series in Milwaukee. He will draw a favorable slot in the order batting lead-off. He is 1-for-4 with two runs scored batting first in the order this season.

Jankowski has seen just two at-bats in the month of May.
EDGE Analysis
The young outfielder has mainly seen action as a defensive substitution late in games or as a pinch-hitter. Jankowski is 4-for-17 with nine strikeouts and has a strong cast of veteran outfielders ahead of him on the depth chart, a situation that is unlikely to change.
