Jankowski (hamstring) is expected to be placed on the injured list prior to the Rangers' game versus the Mariners on Tuesday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski had to exit Sunday's game with a right hamstring injury and didn't play Monday, with a subsequent MRI revealing a minor strain. It doesn't sound like the team anticipates him being out too long, but they'd rather make a move now than play a man short for a few days. Jankowski has been seeing a lot of starts in left field and that playing time now figures to fall to Robbie Grossman and Bubba Thompson.

Jankowski (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski left Sunday's game with tightness in his right hamstring and he'll miss at least one more game while recovering. Robbie Grossman will hit second and play left field with Jankowski out, and Jonah Heim will operate as the designated hitter.

Jankowski was removed from Sunday's game against the Angels due to right hamstring tightness.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski went 0-for-1 with a run scored before he exited the contest after the top of the second inning. The 31-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Seattle.

Jankowski went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski had RBI singles in the fourth and ninth innings. He's starting to heat up a bit again, going 5-for-14 (.357) over his last four contests to begin May. For the season, the outfielder has a .313/.387/.418 slash line, no home runs, nine RBI, 13 runs scored and five stolen bases through 76 plate appearances.

Jankowski went 0-for-3 with one steal in Saturday's win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski has only played more than 100 games twice in his career. He stole at least 24 bags in both of those seasons. The outfielder has already played 20 games this season and is up to five stolen bases. His average is a career-best .302 as well, but he offer very little power, as he has yet to go deep this season.

Jankowski (hip) said Thursday that he expects to avoid the injured list, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski is not in the Rangers' starting lineup Thursday night against the Yankees after leaving Wednesday's game with left hip tightness, but it seems to be a relatively minor issue. Consider the outfielder day-to-day.

Jankowski was lifted from Wednesday's game versus the Reds due to left hip tightness, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. He went hitless in two plate appearances before he was lifted from the contest in the bottom of the fourth inning.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski evidently tweaked his hip on an awkward dive in center field in the bottom of the third. His injury appears to be a day-to-day concern, but the Rangers should provide an update on the extent of the issue prior to Thursday's series opener versus the Yankees. Jankowski has garnered a good amount of playing time with the Rangers lately and entered play Wednesday with an .898 OPS and four steals.

Jankowski started in left field and went 3-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Jankowski swiped his team-leading fourth bag in the ninth inning, threatening to tie the game before Adolis Garcia grounded out to end a potential comeback. Perceived to be a fringe roster addition at the start of the season, Jankowski has lately been a lineup regular in left field against right-handers (.814 OPS), a role that had been slated for Robbie Grossman. While he doesn't have the required at-bats per team game to qualify, Jankowski is second on the team in average (.356) and OBP (.431).
