Lands on waivers The Rangers placed Jankowski on waivers Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact 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.

Picking up start Wednesday Jankowski will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Impact 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 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.
