Kenley Jansen: (Foot) Throws From Mound Saturday

Jansen (foot) threw off a mound Saturday for the first time since his operation, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

The first mound session marks an important step in Jansen's recovery from foot surgery, which he underwent a little over eight weeks ago. He'll need to build up strength in bullpens before progressing to live batting practice and ultimately a short rehab assignment, but he appears on track to return within the 8-to-12 week window given for his recovery. He should immediately reclaim the closer role upon activation.
