Kenley Jansen hopes to be back next week

When Kenley Jansen experienced an irregular heartbeat last week some speculated that he could miss a month. Given that the Dodgers are struggling, particularly with the bullpen, that decision is likely to be affirmative unless there is any reason to be concerned with Jansen's health between now and then. All of that said, Jansen told reporters yesterday that there's a good chance he will need a heart procedure in the offseason, the sort of which he had after his last occurrence of an irregular heartbeat back in 2012.
