LOS ANGELES (AP) - Reliever Kenley Jansen was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday by the Los Angeles Dodgers, less than 72 hours after he was checked into a hospital for an irregular heartbeat.
Jansen, 23, was placed on blood thinners, which will keep the right-hander sidelined for at least three weeks.
Trainer Stan Conte said that the club spoke with seven cardiologists from across the country, some of whom thought the blood thinners weren’t necessary and others who thought the opposite. So he and his staff took the precautionary route after getting formal exams from two Los Angeles cardiologists, Dr. Tony Nguyen from White Memorial Medical Center and Dr. Sumeet Chugh from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
