Former closer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Kenley Jansen, cleared out his locker at Fenway Park Friday.
He will miss the final three games of the season with the Boston Red Sox. The right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation earlier this week.
“He went home,” Red Sox manager Cora told reporters. “I talked to him this week. As soon as it was over, two days ago, he wasn’t going to pitch. There’s other stuff we talked about, other stuff that’s going on with him, so yeah.”
Jansen last pitched Sunday in the first game of a doubleheader with the Minnesota Twins.
