GOODYEAR, ARIZ. (AP) - Oakland Athletics closer Andrew Bailey has left a spring training game against the Cleveland Indians with elbow discomfort.

Bailey, shut down at the end of last season with an elbow injury, faced three batters Monday. He got an out, a batter reached on an error, then Bailey yielded an RBI double to Travis Hafner and was visited at the mound by manager Bob Geren and the Athletics’ training staff.

After a couple of moments of discussion, Bailey walked to the dugout.

The right-hander has been on a strict regimen this spring. This was his second outing. He struck out two in one inning in his first appearance.
