Timeline

2019

On February 9, 2019, Bailey signed a minor league contract with the Kansas City Royals that included an invitation to spring training. Bailey made the team out of Spring Training and had his contract selected on April 3.

On July 14, 2019, Bailey was traded to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for minor league infielder Kevin Merrell. He became a free agent at the end of the season.

On December 31, 2019, Bailey signed a one-year contract with the Minnesota Twins.

2018

Bailey began 1–7 the 2018 season with an ERA of 6.68 in 12 starts before being placed on the disabled list with right knee inflammation. On September 7, 2018, Bailey was removed from the rotation after suffering 9 straight losses; his record on the season was 1–14 at that point and he had an ERA of 6.09 in 20 starts.

On December 21, 2018, the Reds traded Bailey to the Los Angeles Dodgers, along with Jeter Downs and Josiah Gray in exchange for Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig, Alex Wood, Kyle Farmer and cash considerations. The Dodgers released Bailey the same day.

2017

On February 8, 2017, Bailey underwent surgery on his right elbow to remove bone spurs. Recovery time required 4–6 weeks. He made his season debut on June 24 pitching 1 2/3 innings and allowing 8 runs. He finished the season with a 6.43 ERA in 18 starts.

2015

Still dealing with forearm fatigue, Bailey began the 2015 season on the disabled list. On May 1, 2015, it was revealed that his right elbow was diagnosed with a torn UCL, requiring Tommy John surgery, and it prematurely ended his 2015 season.

2014

Bailey's 2014 season became short-lived as he was diagnosed with arm fatigue and finished the year 9–5 with a 3.71 ERA.

2013

On July 2, 2013, Bailey pitched a 3–0 no-hitter against the San Francisco Giants at Great American Ball Park, besting Tim Lincecum—himself a no-hit pitcher only eleven days later. It was the third time in history, and the first time since Nolan Ryan did it in 1974–75, that the same pitcher had the final no-hitter of one season and the first no-hitter of the following season. It was also the seventh time in history, and again the first time since Nolan Ryan in 1975, that two no-hitters in a row were accredited to the same pitcher. Bailey was perfect through six innings when he walked Gregor Blanco with a full count in the seventh. He retired the next nine batters in order, missing a perfect game by only that one pitch. Later in that inning, Bailey was bailed out by Joey Votto when Buster Posey hit a sharp ground ball to first. Bailey was late to cover first where Posey most likely would have been safe. Votto realizing this, threw the ball to third where he got Gregor Blanco. Had Blanco made it to third, Posey would have gotten a hit when the play ended up being a fielder's choice. Bailey became the third Reds pitcher, along with Jim Maloney and Johnny Vander Meer (who'd done it in consecutive starts), to have more than one career no-hitter. Bailey finished the 2013 year going 11–12 with a 3.49 ERA, 199 strikeouts in 209 innings pitched.

Bailey leads with a four-seam fastball, and a two-seam fastball, in the 93–96 mph range. He throws three breaking balls; a slider, a curveball, and a splitter.

2012

On September 28, 2012, Bailey pitched the first no-hitter at PNC Park, and the 15th in Reds history, in a 1–0 road victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bailey struck out ten on 115 pitches, allowing only one walk to Andrew McCutchen in the seventh, while Pirates shortstop Clint Barmes reached first base on an error by Reds third baseman Scott Rolen in the 3rd inning. The game was the first no-hitter for the Reds since Tom Browning's perfect game on September 16, 1988, and the first thrown against the Pirates since Bob Gibson on August 14, 1971. Bailey finished the 2012 year pitching exactly 208 innings with 168 strikeouts, a 13–10 record, and a 3.68 ERA.

2011

In 2011, Bailey made 22 starts going 9–7 with a 4.43 ERA.

2010

Bailey made the Reds out of spring training in 2010. He ended up on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation in May. During his rehabilitation, the Reds considered moving Bailey to the bullpen but after a solid start against the Florida Marlins, the Reds chose to move Mike Leake to the bullpen to keep Bailey in the rotation. Bailey finished the 2010 year going 4–3 with a 4.46 ERA in 19 starts.

2009

Bailey began the 2009 season with the Triple-A Louisville Bats after failing to earn a spot on the Reds' roster.

On May 23, 2009, Bailey made a spot start for the Reds. Regardless of his performance, he was going to be sent back down to Triple-A Louisville. After being sent back down Bailey shut down Triple-A hitters, holding hitters to an ERA well below 2.00 over his next six starts. On June 27, Bailey was recalled and again faced the Cleveland Indians. Despite walking seven batters Bailey picked up the win. One start later Bailey shutdown the St. Louis Cardinals for 7.1 innings. The two runs charged to Bailey were a result of a grand-slam given up by reliever David Weathers.

Being considered a "can't miss prospect", Bailey's first 2 seasons with the Reds were seen as disappointing, and the 2009 season didn't start off much better. As the season progressed, however, Bailey began to become more consistent, and as a result, began to be more effective, allowing only 3 runs or less in his final 9 starts. He finished the 2009 season with a 4.53 ERA in 113 ​⁄3 innings.

2008

On March 26, 2008, the Reds optioned Bailey to Louisville to start the 2008 season. On June 5, 2008, Bailey was called up to join the Reds rotation. On June 18, 2008, the Reds optioned Bailey back to Louisville after he went 0–3 with an 8.76 ERA in his three starts and called up Daryl Thompson On July 11, 2008, Bailey returned to the Reds, to pitch against the Milwaukee Brewers, replacing the injured Aaron Harang. In 8 starts, Bailey went 0–6 with a 7.93 ERA to close out the 2008 year in the Majors.

Bailey was touted as the best prospect in the Reds' farm system, and one of the best pitching prospects in baseball. In early June 2007, the Reds called up Bailey to make his debut against the Cleveland Indians.

On June 8, 2007, Bailey made his major league debut as the starting pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds in their home game at Great American Ball Park, an interleague game against the Cleveland Indians. In that game, Bailey pitched five innings, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks with three strikeouts, and qualifying for the win. On July 8, 2007, the Reds sent Bailey down to Triple-A Louisville. On September 20, 2007, Bailey returned to the Reds to pitch 5 ​⁄3 innings against the Giants. Bailey gave up one run on three hits and a walk while striking out three for his third win of the season. In 9 starts, Bailey finished 2007 in the Majors 4–2 with a 5.67 ERA.
