"We’ll see," Gailey said indicating he’ll make the decision later this week. "Leodis is playing a lot of corner right now. He’s playing a lot of defense. He’s earned the right (to return).

Maybe we’re smart with C.J. not putting him out there to run those kind of things the first week back from a hamstring too. There are a lot of things to consider going into this ball game."
