Bailey overcame injuries and struggles to win consecutive starts for the first time since July 2017. Eldred, the Royals’ pitching coach, had called Bailey in January, after the right-hander was released. “Felt like he would be a really good fit,” the pitcher said. He’s throwing the ball really, really well.”Bailey is using his splitter about a quarter of the time, up from 15 per cent last season. He plans to travel with the Yankees on their trip that starts Monday night at the Los Angeles Angels.
