Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Steals base off bench
Jankowski went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Monday's 5-0 win over the Tigers.
Jankowski entered the game as a pinch hitter for Bubba Thompson and finished out in left field. It was his second appearance (one start) in three games since being activated off the injured list. He's been an unlikely but valued presence early in the season for Texas. Jankowski seemingly would survive the pending return of Mitch Garver (knee), which is expected this week. The next hurdle fpr playing time would be when Ezequiel Duran (oblique) returns early June. Jankowski is batting .301 with six steals over 27 games.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Starts Sunday
Jankowski started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Orioles.
Jankowski made his first start since being activated off the injured list. At the time of his hamstring injury, Jankowski was a semi-regular in left field, but others in the lineup have stepped up at the plate and made the position more crowded. Ezequiel Duran (oblique), Robbie Grossman and Josh Smith have surged during the month of May.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Activated from IL
Jankowski (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Jankowski will return to the Rangers after ending up on the IL on May 9 with a right hamstring strain. The outfielder went 3-for-10 with a double, two RBI, a run scored over 10 at-bats over his three-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock. Jankowski is batting .309 with six extra-base hits, nine RBI, 14 runs scored and five stolen bases over 68 at-bats in 25 games with Texas in 2023 and could find himself operating as an everyday option after Ezequiel Duran (rib) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Rehab assignment kicking off
Jankowski (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Jankowski felt tightness in right hamstring May 7 and was placed on the injured list soon after.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Unlikely to return when eligible
Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Jankowski (hamstring) will spend more than the minimum 15 days on the injured list, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Jankowski's placement on the IL due to a right hamstring strain is retroactive to May 8, but Bochy's comments suggest that the Rangers may not be counting on the veteran outfielder making it back before the end of the month. With Corey Seager (hamstring) seemingly on track to return from the IL during the upcoming week and the hot-hitting Ezequiel Duran likely to settle into a regular role in left field or designated hitter as a result, Jankowski may not be in store for steady playing time whenever he's deemed ready to rejoin the Rangers.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Bound for IL
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.
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.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Placed on 10-day IL
Jankowski was placed on the injured list by the Rangers on Tuesday with a right hamstring strain.
The transaction is retroactive to May 8, so Jankowski will be eligible to return as soon as May 19. The strain -- which he suffered during Sunday's game against the Angels -- is considered mild. Robbie Grossman and Bubba Thompson should be in line to handle most of the starts in left field.

Jankowski was removed from Sunday's game against the Angels due to right hamstring tightness.

Jankowski has played in more than 100 MLB games just twice in his career but has already seen action in 20 games this year, and he is up to five stolen bases with a .790 OPS. His average is a career-best .302 as well, but he offers little power and 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.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Nursing hip injury
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.
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.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Logs three hits, steal in loss
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.
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).

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Sitting against lefty
Jankowski is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Cincinnati.
The lefty-hitting Jankowski is on the bench for the third time in four games, with all of those absences coming against left-handed starting pitchers. Jankowski still appears to have a grasp on a strong-side platoon role while Corey Seager's (hamstring) move to the injured list has resulted in Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran seeing most of their reps at shortstop rather than in the outfield.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Enters late, steals base
Jankowski went 1-for-1 with a stolen base in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.
Jankowski pinch hit for Bubba Thompson and finished out the game in left field. The former claimed an Opening Day roster because Leody Taveras opened the season on the IL, but he's remained on the team and provided marginal value. His three steals is tied for the team high with Marcus Semien, and Jankowski has worked his way into the left field rotation.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Gets on base three times Tuesday
Jankowski went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Royals.
Jankowski slotted into the No. 2 spot in the batting order Tuesday and turned in his third multi-hit effort of the young season. He plated a run in the third on a single, doubled in the sixth and walked and scored in the eighth. The 31-year-old has been a surprisingly productive addition for the Rangers early on, slashing .333/.419/.519 with four extra-base hits, nine RBI, seven runs scored and a 4:5 BB:K over 32 plate appearances. He has only started against righties this season as he's assumed the strong side of a platoon in the outfield.
