Reds Recall Antone After Third TJ Surgery

The Cincinnati Reds are recalling right-hander Tejay Antone 759 days after his third Tommy John surgery to bolster their bullpen following closer Emilio Pagan's hamstring injury. Antone, 32, has revamped his pitching arsenal and has been effective at the AAA level this season, posting a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 15/6 K/BB in 12 appearances. sportbet.reviews

The Reds needed to create a 40-man roster spot for Antone, who was not on that roster. They may place Emilio Pagan on the 60-day IL or designate another player for assignment to accommodate Antone's return as the team looks to break a 5-game losing streak.
