Reds Recall Tejay Antone After Third Tommy John Surgery

Cincinnati fills a bullpen need created by Emilio Pagán's hamstring strain.

Overview

  • Antone, recalled Wednesday, joins the bullpen after closer Emilio Pagán went on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.
  • To make room on the 40-man roster, the Reds moved left-hander Brandon Williamson to the 60-day injured list for shoulder fatigue.
  • The 32-year-old earned the call with Triple-A Louisville, posting a 2.25 ERA in 12 games with 15 strikeouts and six walks.
  • He becomes just the third MLB pitcher to return after a third Tommy John elbow reconstruction, following Jonny Venters and Jason Isringhausen.
  • He pitched a scoreless eighth inning with two strikeouts in his first game back at Wrigley Field during a 10-inning loss to the Cubs.
