Filling everyday role since return Jankowski will start in center field and lead off Wednesday against the Nationals.

Impact Jankowski will pick up his fourth start in his five games since returning from a week-long stint on the COVID-19 injured list. He'll likely hold down a near-everyday role in the Philadelphia outfield until Andrew McCutchen (knee) is ready to return from the IL. The 30-year-old's high-contact approach and good speed could make him a useful two-category contributor (batting average and stolen bases) while he's seeing steady playing time.

Reinstated from COVID-19 IL Jankowski was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jankowski had been sidelined since Sunday since he was feeling under the weather. In eight appearances after the All-Star break, the 30-year-old went 7-for-20 with a double, four RBI, three runs and a stolen base.

Could return Tuesday Jankowski (COVID-19 protocols) could rejoin the Phillies as early as Tuesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Jankowski was placed on the COVID-19 IL on Sunday since he was feeling under the weather, but he didn't test positive for the virus. He's feeling better Monday and could return following a brief absence. Odubel Herrera is starting in center field and batting eighth against the Nationals on Monday.

Joins COVID list The Phillies placed Jankowski on the COVID-19-related injured list Sunday.

Impact The team hasn't disclosed whether Jankowski tested positive for the virus or was deemed a close contact of an infected person or persons. Jankowski had been seeing an uptick in playing time in center field in recent weeks, but his move to the IL should clear the way for Odubel Herrera to slide back into an everyday role in the Philadelphia outfield.

Sitting Sunday Jankowski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Miami is bringing a lefty (Braxton Garrett) to the hill for the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Jankowski will give way in center field to the righty-hitting Luke Williams. Jankowski looks like he could fill a strong-side platoon role at the position until the Phillies get Odubel Herrera (ankle) back from the 10-day injured list.

JULY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Three hits in matinee Jankowski went 3-for-3 with a double and four RBI in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Impact He has started six of the last eight games and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout off the bench in Friday's nightcap. This uptick in playing time coincides somewhat with Odubel Herrera landing on the injured list with ankle tendinitis. He is now hitting .333 with more walks than strikeouts, one home run and three steals in 54 plate appearances. Jankowski should continue starting against righties in the short term.

Swipes bag in win Jankowski went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 15-10 win over the Cubs.

Impact The 29-year-old started in center field and batted eighth with Odubel Herrera (ankle/wrist) out Tuesday. Jankowski walked and stole second in the second inning before scoring on an error. In the seventh, he got aboard on catcher's interference and scored on a Jean Segura single. Jankowski has hit well in a bench role this year, but he's seen just 35 plate appearances in 25 games. He could be in line for more starts while Herrera is on the mend.

JULY 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in three-hit showing Jankowski went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, three RBI, three runs and a walk in Wednesday's 13-12 loss to the Nationals.

Impact The outfielder received more than two at-bats for the first time this season and absolutely raked, leading the game with seven total bases and launching his first home run since 2018. Jankowski is unlikely to usurp Andrew McCutchen as the starting left fielder, but performances like these will certainly lead to more frequent playing time for the 30-year-old.

Steals base Tuesday Jankowski walked in his only plate appearance and stole a base in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Jankowski stepped up the plate in the eighth as a pinch hitter for Ronald Torreyes and ended up drawing a walk and also stole second for his first stolen base since he was called up May 30. The 30-year-old has just three hits and a run scored in nine plate appearances this year and will continue to fill a depth role in the outfield.

Picks up stolen base Jankowski went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Royals in the second game of a doubleheader.

Impact Jankowski got aboard with a fielder's choice in the fourth inning and promptly stole second, but he wasn't able to score. The 29-year-old has been used sparingly this season, but he's picked up two stolen bases and three runs scored in 16 plate appearances.

Late add to lineup Jankowski has been added to the Reds' starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, batting eighth while playing center field.

Impact Nick Senzel was a late scratch to the lineup shortly after Mike Moustakas was also scratched due to illness. Jankowski could be a sneaky source of stolen bases if he is able to get on-base consistently.
