Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Will be on Opening Day roster

The Rangers selected Jankowski's contract Wednesday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

He'll fill the vacancy left by Leody Taveras, who is still working back from a left oblique strain and will open the season on the injured list. Jankowski, 31, signed a minor-league contract with Texas in January after batting just .164 with a .445 OPS in 44 games last season between the Mets and Mariners.
