The outfielder was on a minor league deal and will not require a 40-man roster spot for Tampa Bay. He\u2019ll presumably head to their top farm team in Durham.<\/p>\n<p>Jankowski broke camp with the Sox after signing a minor league deal midway through Spring Training. He only stuck on the roster for a week and a half. Chicago outrighted him off the 40-man, then brought him back on a new minor league contract after he elected free agency. He has spent the past three weeks in Charlotte, batting .261 with a homer in five games.<\/p>\n<p>A left-handed hitter, Jankowski has appeared in the big leagues in 11 straight seasons. He has worked as a fourth or fifth outfielder for most of that time, only twice reaching 300 plate appearances. Jankowski doesn\u2019t provide any kind of power, but he has shown generally solid plate discipline. He was a contributor to the Rangers during their World Series team in 2023, when he hit .263\/.357\/.332 with nearly as many walks as strikeouts across 287 trips.<\/p>\n<p>The strikeout and walk rates both went in the wrong direction last year. Jankowski managed only a .200\/.266\/.242 slash across 207 plate appearances. He was limited to minor league offers as a result. He collected three hits, all singles, and one walk across 14 at-bats in his limited MLB look with the White Sox.<\/p>\n<p>Tampa Bay placed\u00a0<strong>Jake Mangum<\/strong> on the injured list yesterday because of a groin strain. They were already without\u00a0<strong>Josh Lowe<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Richie Palacios<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Jonny DeLuca<\/strong>. They\u2019re using an outfield of\u00a0<strong>Christopher Morel<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Kameron Misner<\/strong> and top prospect\u00a0<strong>Chandler Simpson<\/strong>. Utilityman <strong>Coco Montes<\/strong> was recalled to replace Mangum. Third catcher\u00a0<strong>Logan Driscoll<\/strong> is the only healthy position player who is on the 40-man roster and on an optional assignment in the minors. Jankowski joins <strong>Eloy Jim\u00e9nez<\/strong> as non-roster outfield options with the Bulls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>View Comments (5)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White Sox dealt speedy outfielder Travis Jankowski to Tampa Bay.
