BOSTON (AP) - Mike Timlin expects Keith Foulke to regain his role as Boston's closer next year.
Timlin, a 39-year-old right-hander, started the year as a setup man, but he became Boston's closer after Curt Schilling returned to the starting rotation and Foulke was sidelined by knee problems in September.
"I expect Foulke to come back and be as healthy as he should be and get the job done," Timlin said Thursday, a day after he and the Red Sox agreed to a $3.5 million, one-year contract.
