Andrew Bailey has stepped in as the closer for the Boston Red Sox with Joel Hanrahan sidelined by a hamstring injury.

Bailey has pitched very well and with Hanrahan set to return soon, Red Sox president and CEO Larry Lucchino expects there to be a controversy.

"I think that there will be a controversy, yes," Lucchino said. "I think the fans and the media will be fascinated by this question. But as I just said a minute ago, without you posing the question, is that it's not such a bad thing to have a couple of closers. Hanrahan goes down and Bailey is ready to step in without missing a beat."
