The ninth inning belongs to Kenley Jansen. And, according to the Dodgers' plan, the eighth inning might often have belonged to Tom Koehler.
Of the 26 players, 22 used the clubhouse whirlpool. Roberts said the Dodgers were not entirely sure the whirlpool was to blame but had it decontaminated anyway.
Roberts said he hoped Corey Seager, one of the affected players, could return as a designated hitter Monday. Seager has yet to play shortstop, as the team has put him on a throwing program to rebuild strength in his right elbow. Roberts said Seager could be ready to play the field in the season opener so long as he could play seven or eight Cactus League games at shortstop.
