Reds Recall Antone After Two-Year Recovery

The Cincinnati Reds are recalling veteran right-hander Tejay Antone from the minor leagues to address their diminished bullpen. The move comes just one day after closer Emilio Pagan suffered a hamstring injury that could send him to the 60-day injured list. forumteam.blog

Antone, 32, has been effective in Triple-A this season with a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 15/6 K/BB ratio. The Reds will need to make room on their 40-man roster for the pitcher, who is coming off his third Tommy John surgery in two years. The team is currently in a five-game skid and will face the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Wednesday.
