Bailey Horn - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

In midst of throwing program The Tigers announced Sunday that Horn (elbow) is scheduled to play catch five times during the upcoming week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Horn is throwing again after undergoing a left elbow arthroscopy during the offseason, but he'll need to toss multiple bullpen sessions and face hitters in live batting practice before getting the green light to pitch in Grapefruit League games. The left-hander still has a minor-league option remaining, so even if he's healthy by the time camp concludes, he could be sent to Triple-A Toledo if the Tigers don't have a spot available for him in the big-league bullpen.

Underwent elbow scope Horn is recovering from arthroscopic left elbow surgery, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact It's unclear when exactly Horn had the operation, so a timetable is also cloudy. The lefty made 10 appearances out of the Tigers' bullpen last season, collecting a 1.59 ERA and 10:7 K:BB over 11.1 innings. Once healthy, he will be in the mix for a spot in the Tigers' bullpen.

Back in Toledo The Tigers optioned Horn to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Impact Horn has given up just one run in 5.1 innings since joining the big-league squad Sept. 2, lowering his ERA in the majors to 1.59 through 11.1 frames. Despite his strong performance, he'll be pushed back to the minor leagues by Kyle Finnegan (groin), who returned from the injured list Friday.

Takes first loss Horn (0-1) allowed a run in an inning of relief to take the loss Friday against the White Sox.

Impact Horn allowed a run for just the second time in seven MLB appearances this season, which saddled him with his first loss as well. The 27-year-old lefty has spent most of the year with Triple-A Toledo, and while he's generally pitched well when given a chance by the Tigers, he doesn't have a particularly fantasy-friendly role at the moment.

Tosses scoreless inning Friday Horn worked around two walks to toss a scoreless inning of relief in Friday's 7-0 win over the Twins.

Impact Horn was tasked with working the ninth inning, but with the Tigers up 7-0, it wasn't really a high-leverage spot. It was the lefty's first appearance in the majors since July 6. Horn has spent most of the season with Triple-A Toledo, where he's posted a 3.06 ERA and 44 strikeouts across 35.1 innings. He should work in a middle-relief role for Detroit for however long he sticks around, giving the team another left-handed bullpen option behind Tyler Holton and Brant Hurter.

Sticking with Tigers Horn will remain in the Tigers' bullpen after serving as the team's 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader.

Impact Horn wasn't used in either game of Wednesday's twin bill versus Washington, so the Tigers will gain a fresh bullpen arm by keeping him on the active roster. Tyler Owens will head down to Toledo instead in order to create roster space for Horn.
