Dodgers' Roberts surprised Jansen changed mind on injury


PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says it's "a little bit tough to swallow" that closer Kenley Jansen changed his mind about the severity of a foot injury after blowing a save Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies.


Jansen was struck in the foot by Adam Haseley's grounder in the ninth inning but told Roberts he was OK to continue pitching.


After blowing the lead in Philadelphia's 9-8 victory, Jansen told reporters he should have come out of the game.


Roberts said Wednesday he was caught off guard by Jansen's remarks.


Roberts said Jansen was not available to pitch Wednesday night against Philadelphia but would be able to close if needed in the series finale Thursday.
