In addition to free agency and potential personnel changes, another storyline to follow this offseason involves Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen and his heart surgery set to take place on Nov. 26.
It’ll be the second time Jansen undergoes such an operation, and one that was deemed necessary by cardiologists after the 30-year-old experienced an irregular heartbeat during the Dodgers’ road trip to Colorado in August.
Jansen is slated to make a full recovery within the range of two-to-eight weeks. Even if it takes the maximum amount of time, he is still expected to be ready to go for the start of Spring Training.
