Agencies/New York

The Yankees called up former All-Star closer and Rookie of the Year Andrew Bailey. Bailey returns to the major leagues at age 31 for the first time since the 2013 season when suffered a shoulder injury with the Boston Red Sox. Bailey was a dominant reliever for the A’s from 2009-2011, but was traded to the Red Sox for Josh Reddick and a pair of minor leaguers in December of 2011 and has been repeatedly derailed by injuries since.
He returns to the big leagues at age 31 after throwing 35 innings with a 1.80 ERA and 42/11 K/BB ratio in the minors this season. New York is set in the late innings with Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances, but Bailey could get a chance to get some key outs in middle relief.

Two Royals players sidelined with chicken pox
The Kansas City Royals have been almost unstoppable this season but on Tuesday they faced a very different challenge with two of their players sidelined by chicken pox. Outfielder Alex Rios and reliever Kelvin Herrera have both succumbed to the highly contagious disease and are expected to be out for up to two weeks after being sent home and placed in quarantine, the team said. Manager Ned Yost told reporters before Tuesday’s game against the Detroit Tigers that the rest of the clubhouse appeared to be fit. Puerto Rican Rios is hitting .253 with two homers in 82 games this season while Dominican Republic native Herrera is 4-2 with a 2.12 earned run average.
The Royals have set an American League best record of 80-50 this season and lead the Central Division by 13 games over the second place Minnesota Twins.
Chicken pox is a viral infection that causes an itchy, blister-like rash and usually lasts about five to 10 days, according to the Mayo Clinic. For most people, chicken pox is a mild disease and can be prevented by vaccination.
Meanwhile Cuban infielder Hector Olivera was called up to the major leagues for the first time by the Atlanta Braves.
Four months after defecting from his native country, Olivera signed a six-year, $62.5 million contract that included a $28 million signing bonus with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who dealt him to Atlanta in July as part of a three-team, 13-player trade that included the Miami Marlins.
