LOS ANGELES -- It's a thought that has resided somewhere in the back of Kenley Jansen's mind for months, and now the moment is finally approaching. The Los Angeles Dodgers will make their first trip to Denver over the weekend, and this time Jansen will be there with them, returning to the high-altitude city that prompted another irregular heartbeat and another surgery. "I'm excited," Jansen said, "and also it's a little nerve-wracking."
Jansen experienced atrial fibrillation the morning before a series-opening game against the Colorado Rockies on Aug. 9, prompting an ambulance ride to the hospital and an 11-day absence from the team.
