    Bautista, 28, hasn’t pitched since Aug. 25 and landed on the 15-day injured list the following day.

    There is no set date, Elias said, on when the club would make a decision on Bautista and didn’t commit to whether or not Bautista would need to pitch in a regular-season game.

    Before the injury, Bautista was dominant, going 8-2 with a 1.48 ERA, 0.918 WHIP, 33 saves and 110 strikeouts in 61 innings over 56 appearances.

    In 121 relief appearances over two seasons with Baltimore, Bautista is 12-6 with a 1.85 ERA, 0.924 WHIP, 48 saves and 198 strikeouts in 126⅔ innings.
