Red Sox manager John Farrell indicated on MLB Network Radio on Tuesday that Andrew Bailey is likely to keep the closer job despite Joel Hanrahan's return from the disabled list. "He's active today," Farrell said in reference to Hanrahan. "Before announcing what his role is, when he comes to the ballpark we'll have a chance to sit down. ... The one thing Joel is, he's honest with himself, and he understands what's going on here." Hanrahan struggled before his hamstring injury while Bailey has thrived during his absence, so it's not surprising that he's thinking about sticking with the status quo. We wouldn't rule out Hanrahan getting the job back at some point, especially given Bailey's injury history.
