Kenley Jansen pitches scoreless inning in B game
PHOENIX — Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen struck out two batters in a perfect inning in a B game on Monday against the White Sox and said his hamstring felt fine.
Jansen was originally scheduled to pitch in a major league game last Friday but was scratched after feeling tightness in his left hamstring while running before the game. He also pitched in a B game last Monday against the White Sox but has not yet pitched in a Cactus League game.
On Monday Jansen threw 13 pitches, inducing a pop up and striking out two. He said he threw nine sliders, one of which got Welington Castillo swinging.
