4 years agoCincinnati Reds pitcher Tejay Antone (forearm) could return for this weekend's series against the Padres. He was placed on the 10-day injured list with right forearm inflammation on June 10. Antone is eligible to return from the IL on Friday. "I'm still hopeful that he comes back while we're in San Diego," Reds manager Dave Bell said. "The way his days lined up for bullpens and everything, I don't think it's going to be Friday. Depending on how many bullpens he needs, it could be like Saturday or even Monday. At this point, we want to get him back, but we want to make sure we make the most of this time off. If we have to throw in an extra bullpen, then we'll do it." Antone has been impressive so far in 2021, owning a 1.41 ERA, 0.72 WHIP, and a 40:11 K: BB across 32 innings. The 27-year-old is used in high-leverage situations and will slot right back into the Reds bullpen once activated.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
