Reds activate Homer Bailey ahead of Sunday's debut

Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitcher Homer Bailey has been activated from the 60-day disabled list.

What It Means:

Bailey will make his season debut Sunday against the San Diego Padres, 14 months after undergoing Tommy John surgery. In corresponding moves, Kyle Waldrop has been optioned to Triple-A Louisville, and Caleb Cotham (shoulder) has been transferred to the 60-day disabled list.

Bailey owns a 4.19 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 19.42 strikeout percentage for his career (1,010 innings). Our models currently project him to record a 5.26 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 11.65 strikeout percentage across 48 innings of work this season.
