Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen’s health issues while playing in the high altitude at Coors Field in Colorado are well-documented. His most recent scare was an irregular heartbeat suffered during the team’s trip there last month.
Jansen wound up having to miss 10 days due to the heart issue, and it was not the first time that had happened in Colorado, which brings up a bit of a dilemma for the Dodgers. They are scheduled to begin a crucial three-game series at Coors Field on Friday.
Entering play Wednesday, the Rockies are a half-game ahead ahead of the Dodgers for first place in the National League West.
