Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Homer Bailey, who was acquired from the Royals on Sunday, will make his debut for the team on Wednesday against the Mariners. The 33-year-old veteran hasn't moved the needle much in fantasy this year with his 4.80 ERA, 1.41 [...]

The Kansas City Royals have dealt starting pitcherHomer Bailey to the Oakland Athletics prior to Sunday's game. Bailey was a late scratch from his scheduled start versus the Detroit Tigers, as Brian Flynn replaced him with the reason unknown at the time, but now we have confirmation of the trade. Bailey has found success lately with a 2.48 ERA and a 3-0 record over his last five starts and will likely face the Mariners later this week for his first start on his new club. Unfortunately, he's extr[...]

BALLER MOVE:Add in 14+ Team LeaguesOWNED IN: 12% of leaguesANALYSIS:It's been a long road back to legitimacy for Homer Bailey full of disappointing starts and IL stays since the time when he was so good that the Reds thought it wise to commit $105MM towards their former first round pick. He didn't even get off to a good start for 2019, but he has been red-hot for the Kansas City Royals in June with a 2.51 ERA, 1.19 [...]

So we're just about halfway through the season, and we can draw a lot of conclusions about how a player's year is going to go. Some players have been lost to injury time, plenty are underperforming, and there are of course new faces rising. No matter the situation, it could be time for a roster refresh--but not just the hum-drum obvious waiver wire adds.Throughout the season, you want to get the jump on your competition and sniff out the breakout players before they break out. That's what this l[...]

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Homer Bailey took care of the Twins on Sunday with another strong performance. Bailey, decked out in the throwback Negro League uniform of the Kansas City Monarchs, tossed 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball to earn the win. Bailey struck out five and only walked one, and his offense provided plenty of support on the other side. Bailey has now allowed just one earned run in his last 19 innings pitched, and he's won three straight outings. It's hard to trust Bailey,[...]

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Homer Bailey has now thrown 13 2/3 straight innings of shutout ball. Bailey shut down the Mariners offense for 7 2/3 innings on Tuesday, giving him his second straight shutout win. Granted, his two matchups of the Tigers and Mariners are two of the worst offenses in baseball, but it's still an incredibly impressive accomplishment for a 33-year-old who has only had spurts of greatness. Bailey's outing against the Mariners was dominant as he struck out six and [...]

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Homer Bailey was hit hard once again as he was chased in the fourth inning of Saturday's matchup in Texas. Bailey cruised through the first three innings of the start before unraveling in the fourth inning, in an early repeat of yesterday's performance by teammate Danny Duffy. Bailey also succumbed to the power of Joey Gallo as Gallo drilled a two-run shot to right-center field for his 17th of the year, and Bailey was eventually charged with four earned run[...]

The scheduled game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday has been postponed because of inclement weather in the St. Louis area. There will be a day-night double header on Wednesday to make up for the rain out, and Tuesday's scheduled starters Michael Wacha and Homer Bailey are expected to just be pushed back a day to Wednesday. Wacha is the better fantasy starter, although his upside remains limited.
