The Los Angeles Dodgers welcomed their closer to Summer Camp on Sunday as Kenley Jansen reported for the first time, revealing the reason for his absence was due to testing positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).
Jansen and his family members all tested positive three weeks ago, although luckily are all recovered and feeling better now.
After learning the dangers of coronavirus first hand, it would have made all of the sense in the world for Jansen to opt-out of the 2020 season to focus on the health of him and his family. He explained why that was never an option though.
