Reds Recall Antone After Third Tommy John

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 has been effective at AAA level with a 2.25 ERA and 15/6 K/BB ratio in 12 appearances this season. rocore.sbs

The 32-year-old pitcher has revamped his arsenal since his last MLB stint. The Reds must clear a 40-man roster spot, possibly by placing Pagan on the 60-day IL or designating another player for assignment. The move comes as Cincinnati seeks to break a 5-game losing streak.
