Undergoes surgery Friday Bailey (elbow) announced on his personal Twitter feed that he underwent successful Tommy John surgery Friday.

Impact Bailey was unable to work out at camp this year due to his elbow issue, and he underwent the second Tommy John surgery of his career Friday.

Set for Tommy John surgery Bailey will undergo Tommy John surgery next week and miss the entirety of the 2021 season, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 26-year-old was reportedly dealing with an undisclosed injury earlier in February, and he'll end up requiring Tommy John surgery. Bailey made his big-league debut with the Astros in 2020 and gave up two earned runs on six hits over 7.1 innings, but he won't see game action again until 2022.

Delayed to start camp Bailey is battling an undisclosed injury and isn't expected to be ready for the start of camp, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Without specifics on the injury, it's difficult to say whether or not Bailey is at risk of missing time to start the regular season. The 26-year-old righty recorded a 2.45 ERA in his 7.1-inning debut for the Astros last season before coming over in a November trade, though his 4:3 K:BB paints a less optimistic picture.

Dealt to Cincinnati Bailey was traded from the Astros to the Reds on Friday in exchange for cash.

Impact The Astros probably weren't keen on keeping Bailey on the 40-man roster, while the Reds saw a player they liked who they could easily acquire. The 26-year-old righty pitched 7.1 innings of relief for the Astros this season but had primarily been a starter in the minors, so it's unclear what role the Reds have in mind for him.

Optioned to alternate training site Bailey was optioned to the Astros' alternate training site Saturday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Bailey was effective out of the Astros' bullpen during his time on the active roster, posting a 2.45 ERA and 4:3 K:BB over 7.1 innings across five appearances. However, he'll continue his work with the alternate squad after Joe Biagini (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
