<p><strong>Red Sox team doctors examined Bailey, and a team source told ESPNBoston.com's Gordon Edes that he expects the right-hander to have surgery on the injured thumb of his pitching hand. Bailey will get a second opinion from Dr. Robert Graham in Cleveland and could undergo a procedure later Tuesday if the doctor agrees with the diagnosis. It's not clear how long Bailey would be out if he needs surgery.</strong><u></u><u></u></p>
