LOS ANGELES -- Manager Dave Roberts on Thursday said he spoke with closer Kenley Jansen, who he said is “in good spirits" and expected to arrive in Summer Camp “soon.”

Jansen is one of nine players who have not reported. The others are Pedro Báez, Gavin Lux, A.J. Pollock, Scott Alexander, Keibert Ruiz, Zach Reks, Cody Thomas and Edwin Uceta.

Roberts said he still believes Jansen will be ready to close when the season opens in two weeks. Roberts said, “Kenley is our guy” and that he wasn’t entertaining lining up a replacement.

“He’s been moving around and so I think he’ll be ready,” said Roberts. “Obviously, every day on the calendar that we don’t see him, certainly it makes it a little more difficult. But I’m still confident we have enough time.”
