Padres' Travis Jankowski: Hitting leadoff again Friday
Jankowski will hit leadoff in Friday's game against the Reds, according to Jamie Ramsey of the Reds.
Analysis:
Regular center fielder Jon Jay will not start Friday for the fourth day in a row, which will give Jankowski another shot to man center field and hit atop the order. Jankowski found plenty of success in that role over the last three days, going 5-for-13 (.385) with two RBI, three runs scored and four stolen bases.
