Reds Recall Antone After Third Tommy John

The Cincinnati Reds have recalled right-handed pitcher Tejay Antone, 759 days after his third Tommy John surgery, to bolster their diminished bullpen following closer Emilio Pagan's hamstring injury.

Antone, 32, has transformed his pitching arsenal since his last MLB stint and has been effective at the AAA level this season. In 12 appearances, he boasts a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and an impressive 15/6 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

The Reds now face the challenge of creating a 40-man roster spot for Antone, with options including placing Pagan on the 60-day IL or designating another player for assignment. The recall comes as the Reds seek to break a five-game losing streak. newsbetting.club
