The Tampa Bay Rays placed outfielder Travis Jankowski on the 10-day injured list on Thursday because of a left groin strain.
In a corresponding move, the Rays activated outfielder Josh Lowe from the 10-day IL. Lowe went on the list on March 29 with a Grade 2 right oblique strain.
Jankowski, 33, was 0-for-3 when he exited in the seventh inning of a 3-1 loss at Toronto on Wednesday.
He is batting .258 (8-for-31) with two RBIs in 14 games since being purchased from the Chicago White Sox on April 25.
Jankowski is a career .236 hitter with 11 homers and 98 RBIs in 702 games over 11 seasons with eight teams.
Lowe, 27, has been out of the lineup since going 1-for-2 in the March 28 season opener against Colorado.
He is a career .262 hitter with 32 homers and 130 RBIs in 296 games over five seasons with the Rays, who drafted him 13th overall in 2016.
