Jankowski was traded to the Reds on Thursday in exchange for international cap space.

Jankowski was effective with Triple-A El Paso last season, hitting .313/.393/.350 with 12 RBI in 39 games, which earned him some time with the major-league club. The 28-year-old saw limited action in the majors, recording just 22 at-bats with a .432 OPS. He'll hope to turn things around in Cincinnati, but is unlikely to see consistent playing time in the majors unless there are injuries ahead of him in the outfield.
