Dodgers Closer Kenley Jansen Will Likely Have Second Heart Surgery This Offseason
Kenley Jansen will have a follow up appointment for his irregular heartbeat on Aug. 20, but the Dodgers closer told reporters on Monday that he thinks there is a high likelihood he will need a second heart surgery this offseason, according to ESPN.
Los Angeles placed the three-time All-Star on the disabled list Friday after he felt discomfort prior to a game against the Rockies on Thursday. It was reported that he would miss about a month with this issue that appeared previously in 2011 and 2012.
According to ESPN, Jansen told reporters Monday that he will have a bullpen session later this week and it appeared that he still expects to play again this season.
