Cincinnati Reds right-hander Homer Bailey hasn't pitched a full season since 2013. That streak will continue for another year.
On Wednesday, the Reds announced that Bailey had surgery to remove bone spurs from his surgically repaired elbow. He is expected to be shut down for 4-6 weeks, and will likely start the season on the disabled list. It's the latest in a long line of elbow troubles for the 30-year-old.
Late in the 2014 season, Bailey required flexor mass surgery. He pitched only 11 innings in the 2015 season before tearing his ulnar collateral ligament, requiring Tommy John surgery.
