ATLANTA — Kenley Jansen, who was placed on the injured list June 28 with an irregular heartbeat, is close to returning to the Braves’ bullpen.
The team made the move retroactive to June 27, and Jansen is eligible to come off the 15-day injured list Tuesday. Jansen threw a bullpen session Monday at Truist Park, so he isn’t expected to be activated Tuesday.
Braves manager Brian Snitker said that Wednesday is a possibility for Jansen’s return, although the team hasn’t set an official return date.
