This makes two straight solid outings for Bailey after he was blown up by the Mariners, and it gives the impression that there might actually be something working with Bailey. He's racked up 27 strikeouts in just 23 innings pitched so far, his left-on-base [...]

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Homer Bailey got through Day 1 of his KC career with only a few bumps and bruises, and he got the praise of his manager. Manager Ned Yost was complimentary of Bailey's first outing, and he specifically noted that Bailey's "splitter was good." Bailey allowed three earned runs in five innings of work, and he punched out eight of the 15 outs. Bailey's got big-game potential, but he's historically struggled to remain consistent for more than a couple weeks at a ti[...]

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Homer Bailey is likely to make his season debut on Wednesday against the Twins.

Pitching coach Cal Eldred confirmed that Bailey threw 6 1/3 innings in a minor league game last Thursday to build up his arm strength. Bailey posted a 6.09 ERA, 1.64 [...]

Kansas City Royals pitcher Homer Bailey looks like he's going to be the team's No. 4 starting pitcher to open the season. Bailey will likely held back for extended spring training since the team has no need for a fourth starter in the first week due to having three scheduled off days, but manager Ned Yost implied that Bailey is expected to join the team after that. [...]

The Kansas City Royals signed free-agent starting pitcher Homer Bailey to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training on Saturday. Bailey had spent his whole career with the Reds until he was sent to the Dodgers in the trade involving outfielder Yasiel Puig this offseason. The Dodgers then released the oft-injured veteran. He might have a chance to crack KC's rebuilding roster, but fantasy owners should stay far away from him after he went 1-14 with a 6.09 ERA, 1.64 [...]
