Dodgers' Kenley Jansen to Undergo Heart Surgery; Could Miss 2-8 Weeks
Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen will undergo heart surgery Nov. 26, according to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com.
Gurnick notes that the expected recovery timetable is two to eight weeks. Jansen is expected to be ready for spring training.
The 31-year-old was placed on the disabled list in August because of an irregular heartbeat, leading him to miss nearly new weeks. He underwent heart surgery back in 2012, and it was made known during the summer that there was a possibility that he could need another procedure this offseason.
Ultimately, though, the veteran decided to pitch through his condition to try to help his team win its first World Series title in three decades.
