Manager David Bell said Antone was removed from Tuesday's loss to the Brewers after the right-hander "felt something" in his elbow, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Antone missed the past two months with a strained forearm and was activated from the injured list earlier Tuesday, and he lasted only five pitches before exiting with the elbow issue. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to the injured list given he's dealing with another arm problem.

Antone was removed from Tuesday's game at Milwaukee with an apparent right arm injury, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was activated from the injured list earlier in the day after missing nearly two months with an forearm strain, and he exited Tuesday's contest after visibly wincing on only his fifth pitch. The specifics of the issue remain unclear, but it's a tough break for Antone in his first game back from an extended absence.

The Reds reinstated Antone (forearm) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Antone returns after a right forearm strain sidelined him for nearly two months. Injuries have limited the righty to 22 appearances this season, but he's posted a 1.87 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in 33.2 innings, and he figures to be thrown right into high-leverage relief situations now that he's healthy. Sean Doolittle was designated for assignment in a corresponding move Tuesday.

Antone (forearm) remains in line to return from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Milwaukee, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Antone made what's expected to be his seventh and final rehab appearance at Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, striking out two of the three batters he faced in a perfect inning. The right-hander should immediately reclaim a high-leverage role in the Cincinnati bullpen, though Mychal Givens appears to be manager David Bell's preferred option in save situations at the moment.

Antone (forearm) could return from the injured list next Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
A strained forearm has kept Antone on the shelf since late June. He's already made four rehab appearances, striking out six while allowing a run on two hits and three walks over 3.2 innings of work. He's had two full days off between each outing, however, so the Reds want him to throw on back-to-back days before he's cleared to return.

Antone (forearm) has been sent on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Louisville.
EDGE Analysis
Antone began throwing bullpens in late July and was initially believed to be behind his teammates in his recovery, but he's been cleared to return to game action. Manager David Bell was hopeful that the right-hander would be reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to the end of the month, but he appears to be on track to beat that timetable.

Antone (forearm) is not yet ready for a rehab assignment, instead still throwing bullpens before the Reds play their big league games, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
While it looks as if Lucas Sims might be close to returning, Antone probably won't be back before the end of the month. "I don't expect Tejay to be back with us in the same time frame as the other guys that are there now," manager David Bell said. "He does have to go do a rehab assignment, get some outings in, and I would expect that he would be back - if everything goes well - with our team by the end of the month."

Antone (forearm) will start throwing bullpen sessions sometime next week, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The righty landed on the injured list June 26 with a right forearm strain, but he received a plasma injection in early July and has been recovering since. Barring any setbacks, Antone should progress from bullpens into live sessions before ultimately going on a rehab assignment. With so many steps between him and an activation from the IL, Antone still appears to be on track for an early August return.

Antone (forearm) isn't expected to return before August, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Antone has been out since late June with a forearm strain, the same issue which kept him out for the middle part of that same month. An MRI revealed no structural damage, and he was previously thought to have a chance to return in late July, but he's now slightly behind that timeline.

Antone (forearm) recently received a platelet-rich plasma injection and is expected to return from the injured list near the end of July, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander had an MRI on his forearm come back clean last weekend, and he's now received a PRP injection to aid his recovery. It's unclear when Antone is expected to resume throwing, and when he does it should provide a better idea how realistic a return in late July would be.
