WASHINGTON (AP) -- Boston Red Sox closer Andrew Bailey will have
surgery on his right thumb that could sideline him for a significant
portion of the season.
After an exhibition game Tuesday against
the Washington Nationals, the Red Sox said their new closer was
examined a day earlier in Boston by Drs. Mark Belsky and Matthew
Leibman, then was examined again Tuesday in Cleveland by Dr. Thomas
Graham.

Andrew should undergo surgery to reconstruct the ulnar collateral
ligament in his right thumb."
