Red Sox manager John Farrell said Andrew Bailey remains the team's closer for now, "but there's work to do."
Bailey blew his third save of the season Tuesday and has allowed five runs over his last four appearances. He has a little more leash, but his owners would be wise to pick up Junichi Tazawa as insurance. Jun 18 - 10:59 PM

Andrew Bailey - R - Red Sox

Andrew Bailey took his second blown save after giving up two runs in the 10th Monday against the Rays.

That's the bad news. The good is that he managed to pitch out of a bases-loaded, no-outs jam after walking in the tying run, giving the Red Sox the chance to come back and win in 14. Bailey has a 2.33 ERA, and he's not currently in any danger of losing his closing gig.

Andrew Bailey - R - Red Sox

Andrew Bailey notched a save Saturday for the first time since coming off the disabled list.

Bailey allowed a solo homer Wednesday in his first appearance since his biceps injury, but he was able to work around a leadoff single by Michael Bourn on Saturday for his eighth save of the season. Red Sox manager John Farrell doesn't plan to use Bailey on back-to-back days for the time being, so Koji Uehara and Junichi Tazawa shouldn't be dropped in deeper mixed formats.

Andrew Bailey - R - Red Sox

Red Sox manager John Farrell does not want to use Andrew Bailey on back-to-back days for now.

Bailey was activated from the DL on Monday after missing a couple weeks with a biceps injury, and the team wants to ease him back into things. His fantasy owners would be wise to also stash Junichi Tazawa on their bench.

Andrew Bailey - R - Red Sox

Red Sox activated RHP Andrew Bailey from the 15-day disabled list.

Bailey missed three weeks with a right biceps injury. He will take back Boston's ninth-inning role and should be activated in fantasy leagues right out of the gate. The righty had a stellar 1.46 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 20/4 K/BB ratio in 12 1/3 innings before going down.

Andrew Bailey - R - Red Sox

Andrew Bailey (biceps) threw a 15-pitch simulated inning on Thursday afternoon at Tropicana Field.

Bailey induced fly ball outs from each of the three batters he faced and then worked on his throws to first base for a few minutes. The right-hander is expected to make a rehab appearance on Saturday at Triple-A Pawtucket before rejoining the Red Sox bullpen on Monday. He will take back Boston's ninth-inning gig once he is activated.

Red Sox manager John Farrell said during an appearance on WEEI that Andrew Bailey (biceps) will come off the disabled list by Monday at the latest.

That's assuming he makes it through a simulated game Thursday and a rehab appearance on Saturday. Bailey is expected to take the closer role back from Junichi Tazawa upon his return.

Andrew Bailey - R - Red Sox

Red Sox manager John Farrell said during an appearance on MLB Network Radio on Tuesday that he hopes to get Andrew Bailey (forearm) back in 5-7 days.

Bailey, out since April 29 with a strained right biceps, made it through a long-toss session on Sunday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. It's not clear if he'll require a minor league rehab assignment. Farrell plans to move Bailey back into the closer role once he's ready to go.

Andrew Bailey - R - Red Sox

Andrew Bailey (forearm) may be able to return without a rehab assignment.

Bailey is slated to throw a bullpen session early next week and is close to being activated from the DL. While it's unlikely that he'll be available Tuesday when first eligible, it's possible that Bailey will avoid a rehab assignment. "Still to be determined," manager John Farrell said. "At a minimum we'll get him some sim-games with us. Those things we'll get a better read on once he gets through some mound progression."

Andrew Bailey - R - Red Sox

Andrew Bailey (forearm) won't throw a bullpen session until early next week.

Bailey was hoping to return from the DL when first eligible on Tuesday, but it sounds like that might be overly optimistic. It's not clear if Bailey will need to make any rehab appearances before rejoining the Red Sox. Junichi Tazawa will continue to fill in at closer in his absence.

Andrew Bailey - R - Red Sox

Andrew Bailey (forearm) indicated Thursday that he will not be ready to come off the disabled list when he's first eligible next Tuesday.

Bailey, currently sidelined with a sore right biceps muscle, resumed throwing on Thursday by playing a light game of catch. It's not clear what the next step will be, but he'll almost certainly need more than the minimum at this point. Junichi Tazawa will fill in at closer for now.

Andrew Bailey - R - Red Sox

Red Sox placed RHP Andrew Bailey on the 15-day disabled list with a right biceps injury.

Bailey hasn't appeared in a game since April 28 and felt renewed soreness in his right biceps muscle while trying to play catch on Saturday. The Red Sox will have him undergo an MRI early this week. Until the results are reviewed, there won't be a timetable for his return. Joel Hanrahan is the guy to own again in the Boston bullpen.

Andrew Bailey will undergo an MRI on his injured right bicep on Monday.

The Red Sox thought Bailey was going to be available out of the bullpen Saturday, but he felt some more soreness while playing catch before the game. The club has previously downplayed the possibility of a disabled list stint, but we'll have to see how the exam goes Monday.
