Kenley Jansen, the Los Angeles Angels' closer who recently recorded his milestone 450th career save, is expected to be available for tonight's game against the Houston Astros on 12th April at Daikin Park. The 37-year-old reliever showed no signs of injury concerns during his last appearance on April 9th against the Tampa Bay Rays, where he successfully closed out a tight 4-3 victory despite allowing baserunners. The Los Angeles Angels (8-4) will look to continue their hot start to the 2025 season against the struggling Houston Astros (5-7) in this American League West divisional clash.
Kenley Jansen's recent performance indicates full health for Los Angeles AngelsAs it turns out, Kenley Jansen's last outing on Wednesday was the veteran, closer at his typical form, navigating through a problem with runners on second and third with no one out. Kenley Jansen allowed a single and a stolen base to the first two batters he faced but executed a perfect escape act, striking out two batters with his signature cutter to close out the historic 450th save.
After Wednesday's game, Kenley Jansen stated that he respects all batters but believes he's better than them when he's on the mound. Manager Ron Washington also showed his faith in Kenley Jansen, saying that he has seen Kenley Jansen get out of tough situations before, and that is why he trusted Kenley Jansen in that high-pressure situation.
Los Angeles Angels’ bullpen ready for crucial matchup against Houston AstrosThe Los Angeles Angels' bullpen has been a strength for the team early in the 2025 season, with multiple relievers stepping up in high-leverage situations. While flamethrower Ben Joyce struggled in his last outing, the rest of the relief corps, including Garrett McDaniels, Brock Burke, and Kenley Jansen, have performed admirably.
Tonight's game starts at 7:10 p.m. ET (12th April) and can be watched on local regional sports networks. Fans can also stream the game through MLB. TV with appropriate subscriptions. The Los Angeles Angels will send left-hander Tyler Anderson to the mound against Houston Astros rookie Ryan Guston, who makes his first MLB start.
With Kenley Jansen healthy and the Los Angeles Angels' offense scoring 36 runs in their five games before this series. They will look to overcome their recent struggles against the Houston Astros, who have won 8 of the last 10 matchups between these division rivals.
