Throws for Louisville Antone (elbow) struck out one and threw 11 pitches in a perfect inning for Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Impact Antone's rehab moved from the Arizona Complex League to Triple-A over the weekend, and the right-hander made his debut for the Bats. He's working his way back from a second Tommy John surgery and is tentatively targeted to return Aug. 19.

Moving rehab to Triple-A Antone (elbow) is expected to pitch for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact After one more outing in the Arizona Complex League on Friday, Antone will move up the ladder as he continues to ramp up in preparation for a return to the Reds' bullpen. The right-hander hasn't pitched in the majors in nearly two years. He was showing real promise in relief prior to undergoing Tommy John surgery, but given the setbacks and long layoff, he has to be considered a wild card at this stage.

Begins rehab assignment Antone (elbow) struck one over a scoreless inning for the Reds' affiliate in the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Antone is working his way back from a second Tommy John surgery and recently had a setback with a sore right shoulder. Cincinnati manager David Bell received good reports on the outing and said, if all goes well, Antone is projected to rejoin the Reds bullpen by Aug. 19.

Cleared for rehab assignment Antone (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment July 25, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact It's not clear what affiliate he'll be assigned to or how many rehab appearances he might need, but it figures to be a good number considering how much time he's missed. Antone hasn't pitched anywhere since 2021 following Tommy John surgery and then a flexor strain.

Throwing again in Arizona Antone (elbow) started a throwing program at the Reds' spring facility in Arizona earlier this month and resumed pitching off a mound last week, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic...

Impact According to Rosecrans, if Antone remains free of setbacks while building up over the course of multiple bullpen sessions, he'll be cleared to face hitters in live batting practice beginning July 8. After that, Antone will be targeting July 19 as the starting date for his rehab assignment, and he'll most likely stay in the minors for close to the full length of the 30-day window as he aims to regain both velocity and command coming off his August 2021 Tommy John surgery. Antone had been expected to be fully healthy for spring training, but he suffered a flexor strain in the same elbow over the offseason to further delay his return to the Cincinnati bullpen. He now appears poised to make his 2023 debut at some point in August.

Will begin throwing next week Antone said Wednesday his elbow is "feeling great" and he will resume throwing next week.

Impact Antone has been sidelined since undergoing Tommy John surgery in August 2021 and then suffering a flexor strain in January. There remains no timetable for when the 29-year-old reliever could rejoin Cincinnati's bullpen, but it certainly is a step in the right direction.

APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 60-day IL Antone (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Antone missed all of 2022 following Tommy John surgery and then suffered a flexor strain this past winter. There is no clear timetable for when he might be ready to join the Reds' bullpen.

Rosecrans: Jumping in the cold pool at 6 a.m. with Reds' Tyler Stephenson and Tejay Antone "Getting into 50-degree cold water and staying there for two minutes. The day can't get worse than that," Antone said. How could I say no?

MARCH 24, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Will miss start of season Antone (elbow) will miss the start of the 2023 season, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Antone made the announcement on his instagram account, and said that he recently received a PRP injection for a flexor strain in his right elbow that will keep him out for the first half of the year. The 29-year-old had been slowed during the offseason as he recovers from Tommy John surgery that forced him to miss the entire 2022 season, and this latest setback will see his 2023 debut occur after Opening Day. When healthy, Antone has been an excellent relief option, and once recovered, he should be a high-leverage option for the Reds.

Slowed by forearm issue Antone's offseason throwing program has been slowed by a right forearm injury, per MLB.com's Mark Sheldon.

Impact The good news is the issue is not thought to be related to Antone's elbow, which required Tommy John surgery more than two years ago and gave him a lot of trouble in the aftermath. The 29-year-old reliever will be eased into action at Reds camp this spring with the hope that he might be ready to be used in high-leverage situations at some point in the early part of the 2023 season. Antone posted a 2.48 ERA with 87 strikeouts over his first 69 major-league innings over the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Settles with Cincy Antone (elbow) signed a one-year, $770,000 contract with the Reds on Friday to avoid arbitration, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Antone missed the entirety of 2022 due to Tommy John surgery, but back-to-back seasons with a sub-3.00 ERA and a strikeout rate north of 30 percent in 2020-21 is more than enough reason for the Reds to keep him around. He will likely have to slowly work back into high-leverage situations, but if he's able to return to his pre-injury form, he could take over as the Reds' closer during the season.
