The Braves have placed relief pitcher Kenley Jansen on the 15-day injured list with an irregular heartbeat, the team announced Tuesday.
Atlanta recalled right-hander Jesús Cruz to take Jansen’s place on the active roster. The move is retroactive to Monday, June 27.
Jansen previously underwent corrective heart surgery in November 2018 after an irregular heartbeat led to him being admitted into a Denver-area hospital in August of that year. He had a similar procedure done during the 2012 offseason, when he underwent a catheter ablation in the left atrium of his heart to cauterize the damaged area and prevent it from generating abnormal electrical signals.
