| - Los Angeles Dodgers closing pitcher Kenley Jansen was in training camp Sunday, revealing he was absent for the first week after suffering from COVID-19. Jansen, who spoke to reporters via video conference, said one of his young sons was the first member of his family to test positive for the virus, which later affected Jansen himself. "It is real," said Jansen, who experienced symptoms. "Everyone in the world, take it serious. Wear your mask at all times, if you can. Because, trust me, it happens so fast. "Once my son got it, I've seen how fast it can spread. We tried to do everything, but we all got it in the house." Jansen, who quarantined at home with his family in Los Angeles, said he has resumed throwing and expects to be ready to pitch when the pandemic-delayed Major League Baseball season begins on July 23. He recorded 33 saves with a 3.71 earned run average last season. bb/bfm
