Reds RHP Homer Bailey to undergo Tommy John surgery

The Reds resident no-no machine will be out for the rest of the 2015 season, and then some.

The elbow ligament sprain that sidelined Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey last week and earned him a spot on the team's 60-day DL is apparently one that won't simply get better with time.

The team announced Friday that Bailey, in just the second year of the 6 year, $105 million contract he signed prior to the 2014 season, will need Tommy John surgery on his right throwing arm.
