Kenley Jansen

RHP Kenley Jansen was charged with a blown save on Wednesday when he allowed one unearned run with three walks over one inning pitched in the Dodgers 6-5 loss to the Cubs in extra innings.

Fantasy Impact

Jansen entered in the bottom of the 10th inning to protect a one-run lead but walked the first batter he faced then threw a wild pitch. A Joc Pederson sacrifice fly scored the ghost runner and then Jansen intentionally walked the bases loaded to induce an inning-ending double play. This one wasn't really his fault on account of the ghost runner but it goes down as a blown save in the books. His job is safe.

RHP Kenley Jansen was charged with the loss on Monday as he allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit with a walk and a strikeout over one inning in the Dodgers' 5-3 loss to the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Jansen entered the game in the top of the 10th inning a runner already on second base. It didn't take long for him to cough up the lead as Jesse Winker blasted a two-run shot after just two pitches. He also allowed a walk in the frame but didn't allow anyone else to score. This was Jansen's first loss of the season and it ticked his ERA up to 2.61 to go along with a 1.06 WHIP and 13:8 K/BB ratio over 10 1/3 innings. He should remain the closer in LA moving forward.

Kenley Jansen struck out two and walked one in 1.1 innings against the Padres on Saturday, earning the save.

Fantasy Impact

RHP Kenley Jansen earned the save on Tuesday, protecting a one-run lead vs. the Mariners. He worked a scoreless ninth inning while striking out two in a Dodgers win.

Fantasy Impact

Jansen looked unhittable on Tuesday with his cutter showing a ton of movement and touching 97 mph on the radar gun. The veteran closer is 4-for-5 on save opportunities and now holds a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 10:6 K/BB ratio over eight innings. He's got a firm grip on the closer role for the best team in baseball.

RHP Kenley Jansen picked up his third save of the year on Wednesday when he worked a scoreless ninth inning vs. Colorado, walking one and striking out three in a 4-2 Dodgers win.

Fantasy Impact

Jansen walked Dom Nunez to begin the ninth inning but then retired the next three batters in succession, all via strikeout. It's also worth noting that Victor Gonzalez, Blake Treinen, and Corey Knebel all pitched earlier in the contest. Jansen is now 3-for-4 on save chances and holds a 1.59 ERA, 0.63 WHIP, and 6:5 K/BB ratio over 5 2/3 innings.
