Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier left Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants due to dizziness. An EKG test detected abnormalities in his heart, and now he's scheduled to undergo more testing.

"That's the extent of it right now," manager Dave Roberts said, according to Doug Padilla of MLB.com.

He's the second Dodgers player to have a heart issue in recent days. All-Star closer Kenley Jansen was placed on the disabled list after being hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat last week.

Dozier, the Dodgers' prized acquisition at the non-waiver trade deadline, has played well with his new club. In 12 games, he's batting .282/.429/.590 with three home runs and 11 RBIs.
