Travis Jankowski

The Texas Rangers have signed outfielder Travis Jankowski to a minor-league contract.

Fantasy Impact

The pact comes with an invite to major league spring training. Jankowski has seen MLB action every season since entering the league in 2015. He owns a career .236 average with nine homers in that time but is a factor on the basepaths with 72 career stolen bases. After splitting his 2022 season between the Mets and Mariners, Jankowski is one of a long list of potential Rangers outfield options in 2023.

Phillies outfielder Travis Jankowski went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, three runs scored, a walk, and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

Wednesday's performance came out of nowhere, and Jankowski is unlikely to receive regular playing time going forward despite what he did yesterday.

OF Travis Jankowski was scratched from Saturday's exhibition game due to a hamstring issue.

Fantasy Impact

Janikowski's hamstring injury isn't believed to be serious and is day-to-day. The 28-year-old is vying for a roster spot and will most likely serve in a utility role if he makes the team. Jankowski slashed .182/.250/.182 with two stolen bases across 24 plate appearances for the Padres in 2019.

Travis Jankowski went 1-for-3 on Sunday with one double, one run scored, and two walks. He also stole his 23rd bag of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Jankowski has shown that with regular playing time, he can be worth a roster spot as he gets on base fairly often (.336 OBP) and is a big threat on the basepaths (23 SB). The only issue is that he is not in the lineup often enough to justify keeping him on a fantasy roster full-time, even with his ability to steal bases. Unless he becomes an everyday starter, Jankowski is likely reduced to sitting on the waiver wire at this point.

Travis Jankowski went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and a strikeout on Tuesday against the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

Jankowski isn't known for his power, but it was a nice bonus nonetheless. He now has three homers on the season with a triple slash of .260/.335/.340. While that isn't impressive, his value stems from his speed. He has 21 stolen bases in 27 attempts on the season.
