Reds Recall Antone After Surgery Recovery

The Cincinnati Reds are turning to veteran right-hander Tejay Antone to bolster their relief corps after closer Emilio Pagan suffered a hamstring injury. Antone, 32, has been effective at the AAA level with a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 15/6 K/BB in 12 appearances, having revamped his pitching arsenal after multiple surgeries. milkshake.it.com

Antone's return comes 759 days since his most recent Tommy John surgery. The Reds now face the challenge of creating a roster spot for him, with Pagan potentially heading to the 60-day IL. The team is currently on a 5-game skid and looking to bounce back as they face the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
