MLB.COM Bailey throws first live BP, likely to open season on DL Price says righty 'looked good' in 30-pitch session By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com /
[email protected] / @m_sheldon GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Reds starting pitcher Homer Bailey seems likely to open the season on the disabled list, but still keeps progressing well in his rehab from surgery. On Saturday morning, Bailey faced hitters for the first time and threw 30 pitches in live batting practice against teammates Kyle Skipworth and Chris Dominguez. "He looked good," Dominguez said after the session ended. More importantly, Bailey felt good. He is trying to come back from a September operation that repaired a torn flexor mass tendon near his right elbow. "It went fine," Bailey said. "There is still work to be done. It's not like we're going to go out there and throw seven innings yet. There were good points and bad." Bailey wasn't thrilled with all of his mechanics but pleased overall. He wasn't expecting too much from the session, which is scheduled to be the first of two live BPs. "You just go out there and throw, and pitch, and see how it reacts -- if you feel less discomfort or more discomfort.
