Andrew Bailey Injured

RT @robneyer: Uh-oh. Andrew Bailey just came up short, looks like something might have popped in his pitching elbow. Coming off field. #notadoctor

It looks bad - really bad. Bailey had right elbow surgery in the offseason and when he threw the pitch he immediately clutched at his shoulder in pain. Was watching the A's/Indians game on MLB network - just picked up Brad Ziegler in my fantasy league. If he's available you might want to think about it.

Good point - I completely forgot about Fuentes in my rush to pick up Ziegler. No big deal really - but Bailey's injury LOOKED serious. Of course the MRI will tell.

pitcher hurt? ~shocked~

If Michael Choice makes a catch in center, Bailey doesn't get hurt.

I am assuming you are just kidding. This injury would have happened at some point during Spring Training either way. It sucks he got hurt but there would have been no way to stop it from happening. Lets just hope it isn't anything serious even though it doesn't look good

how bad is it?

When the trainer came out and met on the mound, Bailey bent over and then squatted, so it seemed painful. When he walked off he didn't straighten his arm at all.

Don't tell me this is the start of the A's trying to be first or second in the league in trips to the DL AGAIN.

I have both guys.

I feel really bad for Drew Bailey though. I was hoping he would be a stud for the A's this year.

Good news about Andrew Bailey: He has a forearm strain, doesn't need surgery...

Quite a few people chimed in on twitter saying after surgery it is common to have some scar tissue scars, feeling the same pain as the original injury.
