Expert Note
View More NotesWhat felt like a disastrous season for Jansen would have been great for most other relievers. He registered a career-high 3.01 ERA and career-low 10.3 K/9 substantially below his career average of 13.5. Health is his primary concern after undergoing heart surgery over the offseason, and he reportedly lost 25 pounds and is "ready to roll." Although no longer the premier closer in town, he's still a top-five option.

Kenley Jansen is set to undergo heart surgery on November 26th.
Fantasy Impact
The 31-year-old closer dealt with an irregular heartbeat this season, so the surgery doesn't come out of nowhere. The reported recovery time is between two and eight weeks. Jansen should be ready for Spring Training either way. He'll once again be drafted as an elite fantasy closer in 2019.
