The Los Angeles Dodgers announced Kenley Jansen underwent successful heart surgery on Monday. The ablation procedure was performed by Dr. Koonlawee Nademanee in Los Angeles.
An update on Jansen’s recovery time was was not specified, though the club reiterated Jansen is expected to make a full recovery in time for Spring Training and be available come Opening Day of the 2019 season. Jansen previously set the initial expectation of needing two to eight weeks, with more time only required if there were abnormalities found.
That Jansen would possibly undergo a second heart surgery became a reality in August when he suffered from an irregular heartbeat while the Dodgers were in Colorado.
