According to a TWEET by WEEI.com's Rob Bradford, new Red Sox closer Andrew Bailey will throw batting practice on Friday and pitch in a game on Monday. On Wednesday, manager Bobby Valentine said that Bailey was "ready to face hitters".Bailey is recovering from a strained lat muscle that has kept him on the shelf for the last few days. This latest information is extremely good news for the Red Sox—but, keep in mind, Bailey has a history of injury woes in his young major league career.
