Bailey (elbow) announced in early January via his personal Twitter account that he resumed throwing off flat ground.
Bailey was cleared to throw approximately 11 months after undergoing the second Tommy John surgery of his career in February 2021. Since he isn't a member of the Reds' 40-man roster, Bailey is taking part in spring training with the rest of Cincinnati's minor leaguers, but he's unlikely to be cleared for game action until later in the spring or early in the summer. Once he's deemed 100 percent healthy, Bailey will likely settle into the rotation at Triple-A Louisville.
