Dodgers News: Dave Roberts Not Willing To Name One Specific Closer In Kenley Jansen’s Absence

Losing an All-Star player in the midst of a pennant race is obviously not ideal, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are finding that out right now with Kenley Jansen on the 10-day disabled list due to a heart issue.

Without Jansen, the Dodgers bullpen suffered losses in three of four games against the Colorado Rockies over the weekend, which included giving up a walk-off home run and walk-off walk on consecutive days.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts decided to move starters Kenta Maeda and Ross Stripling to the bullpen to help aid that unit. It should definitely help as both have proven to be dominant as relievers in the past.
