Tejay Antone Stats

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Tejay Antone (elbow) left his outing on Wednesday night against the Detroit Tigers with right-elbow discomfort. Before leaving, Antone allowed a walk and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning to pick up his first hold of the season. That's where the good news ends. The 29-year-old recently made his 2023 debut after returning from Tommy John surgery, so more elbow pain is a pretty ominous sign for the reliever. Antone came into Wednesday's outing having thrown just five innings out of the Cincy bullpen after making his season debut on Sept. 2. There's a good chance he'll need a trip to the injured list, and it wouldn't be a surprise if we didn't see him again until spring training in 2024.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Tejay Antone (elbow) worked a scoreless inning with one hit allowed and a strikeout for Triple-A Louisville on Aug. 16, which was his 12th minor-league rehab appearance. Antone and the Reds recently agreed to extend his rehab assignment by 10 days as he works his way back from a second Tommy John surgery, and manager David Bell didn't rule out another extension. "He's doing well. No decision has been made yet. He is feeling good and pitching well," Bell said. The 29-year-old reliever had Tommy John surgery back in August of 2021 and then suffered a right flexor strain last winter. In 11 2/3 innings of rehab in the minors this year, he's allowed seven earned runs on 14 hits (two homers) while walking four and striking out 12.

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Tejay Antone (elbow) started a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday at the Arizona Complex League. If everything goes smoothly, he is projected to return to Cincy's big-league bullpen by Aug. 19, according to manager David Bell. Antone is working his way back from a second Tommy John procedure that he had last year, and he also had a setback along the way with a sore right shoulder. Considering how long the 29-year-old has been out, it makes plenty of sense for him to be on a rehab assignment for as long as possible, potentially up to 30 days. It's unlikely that Antone will have fantasy value, if any at all, for the remainder of the 2023 campaign. He hasn't pitched since last August.
