Kenley Jansen has been cleared by medical staff to pitch tonight after being held out of Wednesday’s 7-6 Dodger loss to the Rockies.
Jansen, who has faced 20 batters this season and allowed one hit and no walks while striking out 11, complained of headaches and an upset stomach and was found to have elevated blood pressure, according to Don Mattingly, who said he learned Jansen would be unavailable in about the fifth inning.
Mattingly said he did not discuss the specifics of Jansen’s condition after Wednesday’s game out of respect to Jansen’s wishes. Jansen, however, is expected to speak to reporters before tonight’s game.
In other medical news, Howie Kendrick has been given a rest from the starting lineup tonight after his knee stiffened following a slide into third base Wednesday. Kendrick has started 50 of the Dodgers’ first 53 games in 2015.
Also, Triple-A pitching prospect Zach Lee has experienced tingling in the fingers of his right hand, and is in Los Angeles to be examined.
