The Cincinnati Reds have officially placed right-hander on the 15-day disabled list.

RHP Dylan Axelrod (#40) promoted to Reds, Homer Bailey to DL, Joey Votto transferred to 60-day DL. — Cincinnati Reds (@Reds) August 16, 2014

Bailey is dealing with a flexor mass strain in his throwing elbow, but vows to pitch again this season.

The 28-year-old hurler owns a 9-5 record with a 3.71 ERA in 23 starts.

Votto's move to the 60-day DL was merely a formality.
