Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Lands on waivers
The Texas Rangers placed Travis Jankowski on waivers Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.In an effort from Texas to shed a bit of payroll, Jankowski is now available for any team to claim for the final month of the year. However, the 33-year-old owns a .491 OPS through 167 plate appearances on the year and has gone just 1-for-17 since the All-Star break, so he will most likely pass through waivers unclaimed and remain with the Rangers.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Picking up start Wednesday
Travis 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 Texas 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.
