The Dodgers‘ pitching staff has been hit with a lot of injuries this year, but none as serious as the latest. All-Star closer Kenley Jansen is expected to miss about a month due to an irregular heartbeat.
During Thursday night’s game at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies, it was announced that Jansen would not be available due to an illness. Later in the game, word came that Kenley was flying back to Los Angeles to see his cardiologist and would be unavailable for the rest of the Rockies series. Today, sources tell Buster Olney of ESPN that Jansen will miss about a month as he undergoes treatment.
