Travis Jankowski has elected free agency after clearing waivers, indicating he was designated for assignment by the Mets last week. He has played for several teams this year, including the White Sox, Rays, and Mets, appearing in 26 games overall.

His value to the team is his defense, and it is good. Outs Above Average has him at a +5 in 355 innings in the outfield.

As the Yankees transitioned into the 2025 season aiming to enhance their outfield defense, metrics initially indicated they had improved, but results were disappointing.
