The White Sox traded Travis Jankowski to the Rays, who will assign him to their Triple-A team in Durham, as he was on a minor league deal that doesn’t require a 40-man roster spot. Jankowski, a left-handed hitter with 11 seasons in the big leagues, struggled last year with a .200/.266/.242 slash line, leading to minor league offers, but recently batted .261 with a homer in five games for Charlotte. The Rays are in need of outfield depth due to injuries, adding Jankowski alongside non-roster outfield options like Eloy Jiménez.
