SEATTLE (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen hopes doctors will clear him to return to pitching sometime next week.Jansen threw about 20 pitches during a bullpen session Friday Anthony Santander Jersey , continuing his light workload after being placed on the disabled list last week with an irregular heartbeat. Jansen said he feels good and is hopeful his physicians will clear him to return to the Dodgers bullpen when they meet Monday.The 30-year-old Jansen said earlier this week it’s likely he’ll need another ablation procedure on his heart after the season — the right-hander had a similar operation in 2012. When he was placed on the disabled list last week, it was projected Jansen would miss four to six weeks. Jansen said he’s had no symptoms or reactions to medication in the past week.“I hope they say (I’m) ready to go. I’ve got my fingers crossed about Monday,” Jansen said. “We’ll see if that happens. That would be great so I can come back and help us get back in the race and go where we want to go.”Jansen has experienced several episodes with his heart condition in the past. He was prescribed blood thinners in 2011 and missed a month, then missed three weeks the following season with a similar issue.He said his latest incident occurred at the team hotel in Denver. After breakfast, he felt his heart begin to quiver and eventually called 911. Jansen was transported to a hospital, where he was shocked back into a normal heart rate.Jansen has 32 saves, tied with Colorado’s Wade Davis for the National League lead. Los Angeles began the day a game behind first-place Arizona in the NL West.Without their star closer, the Dodgers’ bullpen had lost three consecutive games.“It’s just bad for me not being out there http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authent...ach-jersey ,” he said. “You feel great, you feel like you can play but that blood thinner medicine holds you back. That’s why I say it’s bad. It’s frustrating. I want to be out there every single time to help our guys. … It’s not a fun time for me right now.” CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber says the goal each time he takes the mound is to give the Cleveland Indians a chance to win, rather than getting the W himself.The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner is doing pretty well in both departments.Kluber became the first 18-game winner in the majors this season, striking out 10 and pitching the Indians past the Kansas City Royals 3-1 Wednesday.“I don’t pay attention to it,” he said. “There’s going to be times things are out of your control. You might pitch fairly well and the guy on the other side pitches lights out.”“More so than actually getting the win, it’s giving our team a chance to win. That’s what I base things on,” he said.The Indians moved closer to a third straight AL Central title, and their magic number for clinching the division was reduced to eight when Minnesota lost at Houston on Wednesday night.Kluber (18-7) is a major reason the Indians will be playing again in October. He allowed one run and two hits in 6 2/3 innings. He was pulled after throwing 105 pitches.Kluber has won six of his last seven decisions and is a leading candidate to be chosen the league’s best pitcher for the third time in five seasons. Luis Severino of the Yankees was set to start Wednesday night at Oakland.“The last couple times out Colby Rasmus Jersey , seemed like he started to get the feel back. That’s fun to watch,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.Royals manager Ned Yost watched Kluber retire the first 10 hitters before Kansas City got its only two hits of the game.Alex Gordon lined a double on a 3-2 pitch in the fourth. Hunter Dozier struck out, but rookie Ryan O’Hearn’s long drive was over center fielder Greg Allen’s head and fell for an RBI triple.The right-hander struck out Jorge Bonifacio to get out of the brief jam and retired nine of the last 10 hitters he faced.Cleveland used three relievers to complete the two-hitter. Brad Hand struck out the side in the ninth for his eighth save since being acquired from San Diego and 32nd this season.The game began in sweltering conditions with the temperature at 91 degrees for the first pitch.Brad Keller (7-6) allowed three runs — one earned — in seven-plus innings and lost for the first time since Aug. 7.“I felt like my fastball was pretty good and I hydrated myself all last night, so once the adrenaline kicked in when I got out there, I felt pretty good the whole time,” he said.Edwin Encarnacion’s RBI grounder broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth. Allen’s RBI single in the second gave Cleveland a 1-0 lead before Kansas City tied it.Michael Brantley’s one-out single started the go-ahead rally. Shortstop Alcides Escobar couldn’t handle Yandy Diaz’s chopper and Brantley took third when the ball rolled into the outfield on the error. Encarnacion’s grounder put Cleveland ahead.Jason Kipnis had a sacrifice fly and two hits.Cody Allen, the Indians’ closer until Hand was acquired, struck out two and retired all three hitters in the eighth. Oliver Perez struck out the only batter he faced and Cleveland’s pitchers combined to fan 16.Royals right fielder Brett Phillips was out of the lineup after running full-speed into the wall chasing Jose Ramirez’s fly ball Tuesday. He was removed from the game an inning later. Phillips was diagnosed with a bruised right shoulder.DONALDSON PLANIndians 3B Josh Donaldson was scheduled to play for Double-A Akron against Altoona in the first game of the best-of-five Eastern League playoffs on Wednesday. He’s on the disabled list with a strained left calf http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authent...try-jersey , which has prevented him from playing in a major league game since May 28.Donaldson, acquired from Toronto on Friday, is eligible to be activated Sept. 11. It’s unclear how many minor league games he’ll play before joining the Indians.TRAINER’S ROOMRoyals: LHP Danny Duffy (sore shoulder) will not pitch again this season after leaving his Tuesday start in the first inning. Duffy was on the disabled list from Aug. 13-23 with a similar injury and recently received an anti-inflammatory shot.“The doctors said he can’t have another shot for a while, so it makes sense just to shut him down,” manager Ned Yost said.Indians: LHP Andrew Miller (sore shoulder) is expected to throw a bullpen session on Thursday in Toronto. He’s been on the disabled list since Aug. 29.UP NEXTRoyals: RHP Heath Fillmyer (2-1, 4.01 ERA) opens a three-game series Friday in Minnesota.Indians: RHP Shane Bieber (8-3, 4.66 ERA) starts Thursday at Toronto.
