Homer Bailey leaves the game with a scary-looking injury - MLB

We have no details at all. All we know is that Homer Bailey just left the Reds-Cubs game rather abruptly. And with an injury to a body part which was not immediately clear, which makes it kind of scary. The real-time descriptions:

Bailey appeared to hurt himself throwing a pitch. He’s coming out. #reds

Uh oh. Homer Bailey coming out… was in his delivery and just dropped the ball right to the ground. No warmups afterwards or anything. — Matthew Pouliot (@matthewpouliot) July 10, 2014

Bailey did point down at the mound, like something on his plant leg was the problem. But he didn’t favor anything as he walked off. — Matthew Pouliot (@matthewpouliot) July 10, 2014

Homer Bailey out in the sixth inning after a messy-looking delivery. Heading straight for the clubhouse. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 10, 2014

I would think, from the body language, more likely that it’s a back problem for Bailey.

We’ll hear soon enough. But Bailey being out is not something the Reds, who have been surging of late and are now in spitting distance of the Brewers, need at all.

MILWAUKEE — The Brewers had two players and a staff member test positive for the coronavirus at their alternate training site in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Milwaukee president of baseball operations David Stearns confirmed the positive results Saturday and said they shouldn’t impact the major league team. Teams are using alternate training sites this season to keep reserve players sharp because the minor league season was canceled due to the pandemic.

Stearns said the positive tests came Monday and did not name the two players or the staff member. Players must give their permission for their names to be revealed after positive tests.

The entire camp was placed in quarantine.

“We have gone through contact tracing,” Stearns said. “We do not believe it will have any impact at all on our major league team. We’ve been fortunate to get through this season relatively unscathed in this area. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get all the way there at our alternate site.”

Milwaukee entered Saturday one game behind the Reds and Cardinals for second place in the NL Central, with the top two teams qualifying for the postseason.

The Brewers still will be able to take taxi squad players with them on the team’s trip to Cincinnati and St. Louis in the final week of the season. He said those players have had repeated negative tests and the team is “confident” there would be no possible spread of the virus.

“Because of the nature of who these individuals were, it’s really not going to affect the quarantine group at all,” Stearns said. “We’re very fortunate that the group of players who could potentially be on a postseason roster for us aren’t interacting all that much with the individuals that tested positive.”
