Antone (elbow) has given up six earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 2.1 innings in three appearances for Double-A Chattanooga since being transferred to the affiliate after he was activated from Triple-A Louisville's 60-day injured list Aug. 27.
EDGE Analysis
Antone had resided on Louisville's IL all season while he completed his recovery from April 2024 surgery to repair the UCL and flexor tendon in his right elbow. The operation was the third Tommy John surgery of Antone's career, and given the sketchy track record of pitchers returning from two such procedures to become effective big leaguers, the odds are against the right-hander re-emerging as a reliable bullpen piece for Cincinnati. Though he pitched well over his five rehab outings in the Florida State League, Antone hasn't found much initial success since reporting to Chattanooga.

Antone (elbow) has tossed 2.2 scoreless innings across two rehab appearances with High-A Dayton.
EDGE Analysis
Antone is recovering from a third Tommy John surgery and has made a total of only nine appearances at the major-league level since 2022. The odds are against him making it back to be a successful reliever for the Reds, but it's possible he'll receive consideration for a promotion during the stretch run if he's pitching well.

Antone (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander underwent season-ending surgery to repair the UCL and flexor tendon in his right elbow last week, so it was only a matter of time before he was moved to the 60-day IL. Given the nature of the procedure, Antone may not be ready to pitch in spring training next season.

Antone was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Reds on Monday with right elbow inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
Antone had to be pulled from an appearance Sunday versus the Mets and was sent for an MRI. It's not clear whether the results of the imaging are in, but at minimum he'll be on the shelf for the next couple weeks. Antone has been plagued by elbow issues over the past three seasons.

Antone (elbow) is set to undergo an MRI on his right elbow, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Antone was removed from Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Mets with an apparent elbow injury, which will now lead to him undergoing an MRI in the near future, according to manager David Bell. The 30-year-old entered the game to open the top of the sixth inning, threw one pitch and then was subsequently pulled. Considering the fact that Antone has struggled with elbow issues in the past, Sunday's development is particularly concerning, and his status moving forward will certainly be worth monitoring.

Antone was removed from Sunday's game against the Mets with an apparent elbow injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander entered for the sixth inning but threw just one pitch before departing with the injury. It's a potentially ominous development for Antone, who finished last season on the injured list with elbow tendinitis after spending most of the year recovering from Tommy John surgery.
