Padres' Travis Jankowski: Getting sixth straight start Sunday

Jankowski will make his sixth straight start in center field Sunday against the Reds, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Filling in for the injured Jon Jay (arm), Jankowski has been stellar while manning the leadoff spot for all those games. In his previous five starts, he's gone 6-for-20 with five steals, five walks, five runs and two RBI. There's been little word on how much improvement Jay is making with his condition, so if Jay is ultimately forced to the DL, Jankowski will make for an intriguing pickup in NL-only and deeper formats. He won't hit for much power, but should be a decent source for batting average, runs and steals.
