Bailey Back As Sox Closer

Andrew Bailey has been activated by the Red Sox for the Chicago series. He's been on the DL since April 29th with a strained bicep.

To make room for Bailey the Sox sent pitcher Jose De La Torre back to Pawtucket.

If Bailey can stay healthy, and that's a big if, it would bring depth to the back end of games. Koji Uehara can work the 7th, Junichi Tazawa in the 8th, then Bailey.

Fingers crossed!
