Lester will get the ball for his ninth start of the season in the series opener against the Reds. He was originally scheduled to pitch on Thursday in Atlanta, but the game was postponed. It is the first time he will face the Reds this season.
Bailey earned his first win of 2018 on Saturday vs. the Dodgers but labored for his 5-3 win. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first and left five runners aboard over the first two innings while giving up three runs and 10 hits in five innings.
