Kenley Jansen is on Pace to Have Record Breaking Season

Losing closer Kenley Jansen for the first month and a half of the season was a big blow for the Dodgers. It was announced before spring training that Jansen had a growth on the bone in his right foot. Kenley had offseason surgery to remove the growth from his foot, and the Dodgers had to use a closer by committee until he returned. The recovery time that was initially announced was anywhere from 4-8 weeks. It was possible that we wouldn’t see Kenley until sometime in early June. Fortunately Kenley returned early and was activated on May 15.
