Bailey closing in on returning to Reds

CINCINNATI -- It would seem that Reds pitcher Homer Bailey is on final approach before he's activated from the disabled list following a near 15-month stretch since he had Tommy John surgery. Bailey has made four rehab starts for Triple-A Louisville and has at least one more scheduled on Wednesday.

After that, will the Reds let Bailey land the plane?

"We'll see where he goes after the next start," Reds manager Bryan Price said on Saturday.

In a 4-0 loss to Indianapolis on Friday, Bailey gave Louisville four innings and 67 pitches (44 strikes) with three runs (one earned), three hits, two walks and five strikeouts.
