Homer Bailey

Homer Bailey (sore knee) has been scratched from his rehab start that was supposed to take place tomorrow. He has also been returned from his rehab assignment.

Fantasy Impact

This is not a total surprise to hear after he struggled in his last rehab outing. He looked fine sitting 92-94 in the first two innings, but allowed five runs in the third and didn't come out for the fourth. If you haven't already, he should be off your roster at this point. You can always go back and pick him up later.

Homer Bailey lasted three innings and allowed five runs on six hits with one walk and one strikeout on Monday against the Columbus Clippers. He allowed one hit in the first two innings but the Clippers had five knocks in the third and that was all for Bailey.

Fantasy Impact

Bailey is no longer what he used to be. He may hate going to the bullpen, but that is the only place he can find success at this point. He should not be on any roster at this point until he proves he has found something to build on.

Homer Bailey is scheduled to make a rehab start for the Triple-A Louisville Bats Monday night at Louisville Slugger Field.

Fantasy Impact

Homer Bailey has been out with right knee inflammation since June 2. This came after he was told he would be moving to the bullpen. He will be stretched out as a starter during his time with the Bats.

Homer Bailey was atrocious again on Monday against the Diamondbacks. Over four innings, he allowed eight runs (six earned), on six hits. He served up two home runs, walked a batter, and struck out three.

Fantasy Impact

Bailey now has seven losses on the year. His ERA is an ugly 6.68 and his strikeouts are also way down this year. His spot in the rotation may be in jeopardy, but he should've been ditched in fantasy leagues a long time ago.

Homer Bailey allowed four runs on 10 hits and three walks in Wednesday's no-decision against the Pirates. He struck out three.

Fantasy Impact

Bailey's days of being usable in fantasy look to be over, as he has neither the control nor the strikeout rate to provide any value. He can be dropped in all formats.
