Andrew Bailey News
Los Angeles Angels reliever Andrew Bailey is officially retiring and taking another position with the Angels. Bailey, 33, will be the Angels instant-replay coordinator and coaching assistant this season. The former A's closer was recovering from a shoulder injury but opted instead to retire. Bailey only threw four innings last season and has had health issues consistently since 2010. The right-hander's retirement gives relieverCam Bedrosian an even clearer path to saves in LA, although manager Mike Scioscia has a history of using multiple closers.
Angels reliever Andrew Bailey is headed to Arizona to rehab his shoulder injury. He will not play again this season, but he hopes to be ready for the start of the 2018 season. Injuries cost Bailey almost the entire season, as he only managed to throw four innings on the year. He can be safely dropped in any leagues that he was still held in at this point. At age 32 and with only 56 1/3 innings pitched in the last three years, this could be the end of the line for Bailey.
The Angels placed relief pitcher Andrew Bailey (shoulder) on the DL on Monday. Jose Alvarez was recalled to take his place. Bailey was recalled from the DL back on August 13 but has only thrown one inning since then, and will land back on the Dl where he has spent the majority of the season. Bailey has only tossed four innings on the year after a multitude of injuries have kept him on the shelf. With Cam Bedrosian, Keynan Middleton and Bud Norris all competing for saves, not to mention the presence of Blake Parker and Yusmeiro Petit, Bailey is unlikely to see any save opportunities when he is able to return. That, coupled with his lengthy injury history, makes him not rosterable in any fantasy format.
