Dodgers Injury News: Kenley Jansen Likely To Undergo 2nd Heart Surgery During Offseason

As much as the Los Angeles Dodgers miss Kenley Jansen in their bullpen, his heart condition is a serious matter that the organization is handling with necessary care. President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman stated as much from Coors Field.

Upon filling his heart out of rhythm in Colorado, Jansen was taken to the hospital. He was unavailable for the series opener against the Rockies, and returned to Los Angeles for additional testing.

That required the Dodgers to place their All-Star closer on the 10-day disabled list, though the initial projection was that Jansen would miss at least four weeks.
