CF Jankowski promoted to Triple-A El Paso in day of moves

It started at the highest level as the Padres recalled center fielder Abraham Almonte from El Paso, and then optioned third baseman Will Middlebrooks to their Triple-A affiliate.

Jankowski was promoted one day after he returned to San Antonio from the Pan American Games. He was hitting .313 with 23 steals and 49 runs scored in 72 games with the Missions.

The Missions also activated outfielder Tyson Gillies (Canada) from the Pan-Am Games list; placed shortstop Jose Rondon (right elbow injury) and right-handed starting pitcher Casey Kelly (finger) on the seven-day Texas League disabled list; and received shortstop Benji Gonzalez from El Paso.
