He is set to make his return to the mound this Saturday, July 4th, in the second game of the series against the Piratas de Campeche.

The pitcher stated he returns with more experience and new tools to face league hitters. "Opposing players will be prepared, I'm sure, and there are many very good offenses in this league.

His return is a significant boost for the Diablos Rojos, who aim to maintain their dominance in the league. The team is seeking its third consecutive championship, and Bauer's presence is expected to be a key factor in achieving that goal.
