Kenley Jansen "still a ways away"

Kenley Jansen threw a bullpen session before Tuesday night's game against the San Francisco Giants. Manager Don Mattingly said: "Basically, he’s going through spring training right now. He’s on track for us. But he’s still a ways away.” Jansen is expected to return sometime in May. (Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register)

Fantasy Impact:

The injury to Jansen was on his foot, not his throwing arm, so a return to prior form should be easier. It is still an injury that required a lot of time off so monitor his situation carefully. If he's able to come back without any setbacks, 30+ saves and 75+ strikeouts should be attainable. The Dodgers are going to win a ton of games so he could be in the elite tier when it's all said and done.
