Jansen (irregular heartbeat) will throw to hitters Wednesday and Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
After completing the live batting practice sessions, Jansen plans to meet with his cardiologist Monday and is "optimistic" he'll be cleared to pitch in games again after the follow-up visit. Previous timelines for the right-hander's return had been estimated at four weeks at least, but it looks like the closer is trending toward beating that recovery timetable . A clearer picture regarding a potential return date should come into focus after his checkup early next week.
