Jankowski is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Jankowski will sit out against a right-handed starting pitcher for the second day in a row, and he could be in danger of surrendering his strong-side platoon role while he's in the midst of a 4-for-24 slump at the plate over his past seven games. J.P. Martinez will pick up another start in the outfield after slugging his first career home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Twins.

Jankowski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski will join fellow everyday players Adolis Garcia and Ezequiel Duran on the bench for the series finale in what appear to be routine off days for all three. Robbie Grossman will pick up the start in left field in place of Jankowski, who had started in each of the previous four contests.

Jankowski went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Twins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Among Jankowski's trio of hits was a third-inning single that plated two runs. The outfielder added a theft in the contest, giving him a team-high 17 steals on the season. That total and Jankowski's .286 batting average and .376 OBP give him some fantasy value, though he's not going to provide much power -- he has just one homer over 220 at-bats on the campaign.

Jankowski went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 9-8 loss to Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski snapped an 0-for-9 skid with a seventh-inning single -- his first hit since coming off the paternity list earlier this week -- then later had a run-producing double and scored in the ninth, as a Texas rally fell short. The speedy outfielder, who leads the Rangers with 16 steals, has slumped since late July; Friday's multi-hit effort was the first since July 25. Jankowski is batting just .111 (4-for-36) over the last 16 games with one stolen base during that stretch.

Jankowski (personal) was activated from the paternity list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski -- following the birth of his child -- missed the entirety of the series the Rangers played against the Giants over the weekend, but he is back with the club and will be available moving forward. He figures to reclaim his role as the regular left fielder against right-handed pitchers.

Texas placed Jankowski on the paternity leave list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski will miss at least part of the Rangers' three-game weekend series in San Francisco as he welcomes a new addition to his family. J.P. Martinez is up from Triple-A Round Rock and starting in left field Friday versus the Giants.

Jankowski entered as a pinch runner, scored a run then finished out Tuesday's 6-1 win over Oakland in left field.
EDGE Analysis
Not too long ago, Jankowski was the near-everyday left fielder for the Rangers, but he's mired in a 1-for-22 skid and losing at-bats. Robbie Grossman appears to be the left fielder du jour. With Ezequiel Duran covering third base following Josh Jung's thumb injury, the left field rotation is down to Jankowski and Grossman.

Jankowski is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski was on the bench Monday with left-hander Ken Waldichuk starting for the A's, and he'll remain seated Tuesday as southpaw JP Sears toes the slab. Robbie Grossman, Leody Taveras and Adolis Garcia are starting across the outfield for the visiting Rangers.

Jankowski is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski has not started against a southpaw since early May, so it comes as no surprise that he was held out with lefty Ken Waldichuk on the mound for Oakland. Robbie Grossman will man left field for the Rangers on Monday.

Jankowski is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski sat out Friday with lefty Jesus Luzardo pitching for Miami, and the outfielder is sitting again Saturday despite righty George Soriano taking the bump. Jankowski is scuffing at the plate over his past seven games, going 1-for-17 with a double, four walks, two RBI and a steal. Ezequiel Duran will receive another look in left field while Robbie Grossman serves as the designated hitter.
