Homers, drives in five Jankowski went 3-for-4 with a home run, five RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 12-11 loss to the Astros.

Impact Jankowski cut Texas' deficit to 10-5 with his first homer of the season, a three-run shot off Cristian Javier in the fourth inning, before driving in two more runs with a single in the fifth. While he's typically more known for his legs than his bat, Jankowski has been raking of late, going 10-for-21 (.476) over his last seven games. The 32-year-old outfielder is now slashing a surprisingly impressive .325/.426/.433 with 23 runs scored, 18 RBI and 10 seals while earning the lion's share of playing time in left field.

Heads to bench Sunday Jankowski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Jankowski will head to the bench for the series finale after he started each of the previous three games while reaching base in eight of his 13 plate appearances and contributing a pair of stolen bases.

Two steals in win Jankowski started in left field and went 2-for-4 with two steals, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over Houston.

Impact Jankowski increased his stolen base total to 10 (caught once), the first time since 2018 he's achieved double-digit thefts. He started in left field for a third consecutive game following a stretch in which he made two starts in 10 games. He considered a better outfield defender than Ezequiel Duran, who was moved to DH the last three games. If Jankowski gets back into a semi-regular rotation, as he was prior to a May hamstring injury, his speed will be an asset for fantasy managers.
