Jankowski will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
With Josh Smith receiving a day off, Jankowski will re-enter the Texas lineup for the first time since last Thursday. Jankowski has gone just 1-for-13 at the dish since the All-Star break, and he's put together a lowly .200/.259/.240 line over 162 plate appearances on the season. Even with the Rangers fading from the playoff picture heading into the final month of the season, Jankowski is unlikely to see a major spike in opportunities, given his status as a 32-year-old underperforming journeyman on an expiring contract.
