RANCHO CUCAMONGA >> Kenley Jansen made his long-awaited 2015 debut at a packed minor league stadium Friday night. It wasn’t in the venue or wearing the uniform he would have expected but it was a good first step.
The Dodgers closer took the mound at LoanMart Field for the Dodgers’ High-A affiliate at Rancho Cucamonga for the first of what he thinks will be six one-inning rehab appearances.
He threw 15 pitches, including 10 strikes, against the Angels’ Inland Empire affiliate. He gave up a single to leadoff hitter Bo Way but got one of the Angels’ more-heralded prospects Kaleb Cowart on a called third strike.
