Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen said Monday doctors told him the growth in his foot shouldn't return after undergoing surgery to remove it, per MLB.com. Jansen is expected to miss 8-12 weeks after having surgery last week.
"The X-ray scared everybody," Jansen said. "But the MRI gave good news that it wasn't a big thing. They said it was mostly fluid that got into the bone, but if I had continued to pitch on it, the bone could get weak and get damaged, and they'd rather take it out now so I wouldn't be out a long time.
"It shocks you. There's so much stuff in your head. But the MRI calmed me down."
