Dodgers’ Hong-Chi Kuo Activated From Disabled List; Kenley Jansen Sent Down

Kuo was on the DL with back problems that contributed to an uncharacteristically wild start to his 2011 season.

Another reliever who has struggled this season was Kenley Jansen, and the 23-year-old reliever will try to rebound in Double-A (not Triple-A, as initially reported). Jansen had a fantastic start to his major league career, but this season he’s issued eight walks and given up three home runs in 13-1/3 innings (granted, he’s also got 22 strikeouts).

Kuo has a 1.98 ERA since 2008, and picked up 12 saves last season for the Dodgers.
