Andrew Bailey on track to Return Shortly

    Andrew Bailey, according to RotoWire.com, impressed manager Bob Geren during a bullpen session Wednesday. Bailey has been out all season with a forearm strain. An injury that was once believed to be ligament damage, is now healing nicely. It looks like Bailey will be cleared for a rehab assignment next week. If everything goes to plan, he should be back in two weeks. Bailey had injury problems last season also, but all signs seem positive for his return. When healthy he's a lights out closer with a career ERA of 1.70, who averages about a strikeout an inning. He's still available in 15 % of Yahoo! leagues. If your league is one of them, pick him up as soon as he gets back. It's always nice to pickup an allstar closer in the middle of the season.
