Prior to Major League Baseball temporarily suspending operations due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Los Angeles Dodgers were two weeks away from beginning their journey toward what many expected would be a World Series championship.
As the situation worsened in the United States, MLB informed all 30 teams that camps would be closed to adhere to social distancing guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Most players returned to their offseason home to continue Spring Training workouts, including Kenley Jansen, who revealed he has thrown multiple bullpen sessions off a portable mound.
