Kenley Jansen pitched for the second consecutive day Thursday and his availability for Friday is uncertain as he has not pitched on three consecutive days this season.

Jansen pitched for the second consecutive day Thursday and his availability for Friday is uncertain as he has not pitched on three consecutive days this season.

Analysis:

In addition to making several appearances on back-to-back days throughout the first month of the regular season, Jansen's workload Thursday night was abnormally high (34 pitches), further complicating the plans of manager Don Mattingly should the Dodgers create a save opportunity Friday night. To make matters worse, Jansen's velocity has fallen in recent weeks, perhaps a byproduct of making 17 appearances between March and April before No. 18 on Thursday night.
