Injury-plagued Andrew Bailey appreciates Angels giving him an opportunity

ANAHEIM – A baseball roster being the zero-sum entity that it is, one player’s misfortune leads to another player’s opportunity.

The Angels have certainly suffered through more than their share of bad luck, with a string of injuries that have sunk their season.

Out of that rubble, however, opportunities have sprouted for players like Andrew Bailey, who has enjoyed a memorable week as he’s taken steps to revive a career that not long ago seemed dead.

Three weeks after he was at home, without a job, Bailey had not only returned to the majors, but recorded his first save in three years.
