Fantasy Impact

Antone has dealt with a wealth of injuries in his career, limiting him to just 41 appearances in parts of three seasons, including Tommy John surgery. However, he owns a dominant 2.41 ERA and a 33.3% K% in that time, making him a nice bounce-back injury candidate in 2024.

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tejay Antone has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow discomfort.

Fantasy Impact

The right-hander was removed from Wednesday's outing against the Tigers with elbow discomfort, a somewhat scary scenario as he missed all of the 2022 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. However, on Thursday, Antone said he expects to pitch again this season. He's been excellent with a 1.59 ERA and 33.3% K% across his five appearances on the season.

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tejay Antone isn't expected to be ready until well into the 2023 season after suffering a setback in his recovery from Tommy John surgery.

Fantasy Impact

Antone underwent Tommy John surgery in August of 2021 and spent the 2022 season rehabbing his elbow. However, he suffered a setback prior to spring training and isn't expected back anytime soon. The right-hander was a force in the Reds' bullpen, tossing a 2.05 ERA as a reliever in 32 relief appearances from 2020-2021. Now 29, Antone is likely to miss the majority of the 2023 season as his elbow woes continue.

Cincinnati Reds reliever Tejay Antone has suffered a setback in his recovery from Tommy John surgery.

Fantasy Impact

The setback is a flexor strain in his right forearm that will cost Antone the first half of the 2023 season after he missed all of the 2022 campaign following Tommy John surgery. The procedure was the second Tommy John of Antone's career after he also underwent the knife in 2017 while in the minors. The right-hander had established himself as a key late-inning arm for the Reds' bullpen between 2020 and 2021, throwing 69 frames of 2.48 ERA ball with a 32.3% K% and three saves in 36 appearances. The setback is a significant blow to a Reds bullpen that tied for second-last with a 4.72 ERA in 2022.
