Red Sox activate Andrew Bailey from DL, Stephen Drew back in lineup
The Boston Red Sox activated Andrew Bailey from the 15-day disabled list on Monday.
Bailey missed three weeks with a right biceps injury but should move right back into the closers role in Boston. Prior to the injury Bailey had a 1.46 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 20/4 K/BB ratio in 12 1/3 innings.
With Joel Hanrahan out of the picture, Bailey should have a comfortable grip on the closing duties...

The Boston Red Sox have been without shortstop Stephen Drew for the past two nights after he suffered a back injury. While Drew's injury sounds painful -- he described it as "hypertension on my spine" -- he said told Rob Bradford of WEEI.com that he doesn't plan on sitting out much longer.
“I hope so. I don’t plan on sitting out much longer,” said

Stephen Drew Overcoming Early, Unfair Criticism to Become Threat at Bottom of Red Sox’ Order
The tune is suddenly changing in Boston.
Stephen Drew started off his Red Sox career in a difficult spot, and it only got worse as he struggled out of the gate. Now, Drew is becoming a consistent threat at the bottom of the Boston order, and it’s becoming increasingly easier to justify the Red Sox signing the veteran shortstop during the offseason.
Drew hit a grand slam and reached...
Lester still unbeaten; Drew hits slam
Jon Lester stayed unbeaten, Stephen Drew hit his second career grand slam and the Boston Red Sox roughed up AL Cy Young winner David Price and the Tampa Bay Rays 9-2 on Wednesday night.
Price (1-4) departed from the marquee pitching matchup because of left triceps tightness during Boston's eight-run third inning, which Drew finished with his towering homer off Jamey Wright....

Jon Lester, Stephen Drew Both Play ‘Grand Slam Stopper’ for Red Sox Badly in Need of Win (Video)
Sometimes, a win’s a win. Other times, it can matter a little bit more.
Wednesday’s win over the Tampa Bay Rays was more of the latter for the Red Sox, who entered the day badly in need of a win. They turned to Jon Lester to right the ship, and that’s exactly what he did — just like he usually does.
The tough left-hander improved to 4-0 following a Red Sox loss this season...
After Slow Start Stephen Drew Is Settling In With Red Sox
After a DL stint and a slow start Drew has settled in nicely
When the Red Sox signed Stephen Drew in the off-season on a one-year deal it drew quite a bit on skepticism from Red Sox Nation. The Sox remembered his older brother J.D. who made $14 million over 5 slightly above average seasons in Boston. Drew was not the type of player that the Red Sox fans generally embrace, particularly...
Stephen Drew’s Walkoff RBI, Four-Hit Night End His ‘Spring Training,’ Give Red Sox Boost at Perfect Time
The first two weeks of the Major League Baseball season are always the most fun for stat heads. Over the course of just a few games, a perusal of their favorite teams’ box scores can show players hitting .500, .625 or even .800. Every hit can send the batting average up a dozen or so points, while a slump can put a usually dangerous slugger well below the Mendoza line.
For Stephen...
Recap: DREWWWWWWWWWW leads Sox past Twins
That wasn't boos in Fenway. That was DREWWWWWWWWW.
Stephen Drew has his best night in a Red Sox uniform and it was capped off with a wall ball double in the 11th to bring in the winning run and end the three-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Drew went 4-for-5 with 3 RBI's.
All of this could have been avoided had Joel Hanrahan closed out...
What to do with Stephen Drew?
Stephen Drew expected to come to Boston and make people forget about the way his brother played. Picking the exact same number that his brother had didn't help him the slightest and the way he started the year on the DL with a concussion hasn't helped either. Before Drew came up to for his second at bat yesterday against the Athletics he was in a 4-36 slump. He had struck...
Your Morning Dump...where Drew's return is delayed
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
Because Portland’s game was postponed Saturday, the Sox have elected to leave shortstop Stephen Drew with the Sea Dogs for games Sunday and Monday, thus pushing his return to Boston back to Wednesday’s...
