2 years agoThe Atlanta Braves placed closer Kenley Jansen (heart) on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with an irregular heartbeat and recalled right-hander Jesus Cruz from the minors in a corresponding move. Jansen's injured list placement is retroactive to June 27. The 34-year-old right-hander was first diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat in 2011 and has had several recurrences since then, but this is the first one since he had an ablation procedure after the 2018 season. It's a pretty serious issue, so there's no timetable for Jansen's return. Jansen has gone 4-0 with 20 saves and a 3.58 ERA this year, and he needs to remain stashed everywhere. Left-hander Will Smith, who had a career-high 37 saves for Atlanta last year, will likely take over closing duties until Jansen is able to return.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
