GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Oakland Athletics closer Andrew Bailey has left a
spring training game against the Cleveland Indians with elbow
discomfort.

Bailey, shut down at the end of last season with an elbow injury,
faced three batters Monday. He got an out, a batter reached on an
error, then Bailey yielded an RBI double to Travis Hafner and was
visited at the mound by manager Bob Geren and the Athletics' training
staff.

After a couple of moments of discussion, Bailey walked to the dugout.

The right-hander has been on a strict regimen this spring. This was
his second outing. He struck out two in one inning in his first
appearance.
