Homer Bailey is healthy again and completed his rehab starts on Tuesday at Louisville. He is recalled as of Sunday morning in time to pitch the series finale at Baltimore.
Bailey was pitching well before his shoulder acted up while swinging the bat in Philadelphia last month. He started the year on the disabled list but is 3-1 with an even 3.00 ERA in five starts, including the May 26 start in Philadelphia. Bailey had to leave after four innings, his shortest outing.
Carlos Fisher had to do the dirty work in the bullpen. He had to finish three extra-inning games in three consecutive appearances. He was the losing pitcher of record in all three. On May 25 in which he was forced to pitch five innings, he was out of gas, yet had another extra inning game in Atlanta three days later. He was also the losing pitcher on June 4 against Los Angeles in an 11-inning contest.
Fisher has appeared in 10 games and pitched 17 innings with a 3.71 ERA.
