Dodgers News: Meeting With Cardiologist Confirms Kenley Jansen Will Require 2nd Heart Surgery During Offseason

The Los Angeles Dodgers got through a weekend in Denver without Kenley Jansen, taking two of three games from the Colorado Rockies, then reuniting with their All-Star closer on Monday.

After meeting with doctors and with respect to last month’s heart scare, Jansen didn’t join the Dodgers for the first three games of their road trip out of precaution. He’d previously asserted pitching at Coors Field would not be a problem.

And though he skipped the Dodgers’ latest visit, Jansen maintained he would be in position to face the Rockies on the road if they were to meet in the postseason.
