Report: Kenley Jansen May Miss Trip to Colorado Following Irregular Heartbeat in August

Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen may miss the Dodgers' upcoming road trip to Colorado, according to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick.

Jansen showed symptoms of an irregular heartbeat during Los Angeles' road series with the Rockies on Aug. 9 and was taken to a nearby hospital. He spent 10 days on the disabled list to deal with the condition after facing similar issues in 2010 and 2011. Jansen had an irregular heartbeat in Denver in 2012 and underwent ablation surgery that offseason.

"It's being debated," Jansen said on Monday regarding his potential absence. "It's tough."

If Jansen does skip the Dodgers' four-game stint in Denver, he will rejoin the team for its series at Cincinnati on Sept.
