Bailey had bone spurs removed from his pitching elbow, marking his third surgery in the region.

The 30-year-old hopes to return in June.

Bailey posted a 2-3 mark with a 6.65 ERA in six starts last season following his July return from Tommy John surgery.

Bailey has logged just 180 innings since signing a six-year, $106 million extension prior to the 2014 season.

Bailey, who has thrown two no-hitters, boasts a 60-54 career mark with a 4.24 ERA in 10 seasons with the Reds.

The Reds also claimed right-hander Nefi Ogando off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 27-year-old Ogando has a 3.66 ERA in 18 career relief appearances with the Philadelphia Phillies and Miami Marlins.
