Kenley Jansen Returns To Closer's Role Friday, Earns Save
6 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen was back in the saddle in Friday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks. After being given a break from the role two games ago due to a rough stretch, Jansen pitched a scoreless ninth inning, working around a Paul Goldschmidt double with no walks and a strikeout. Despite his recent struggles, Jansen remains a top fantasy closer, with 33 saves, a 3.03 ERA, and 67 strikeouts in 59 1/3 innings. Hopefully, he can return to his reliable ways so fantasy owners will not have to worry so much about starting him for the final month of the season.
