Reds recall Spiers put Antone on 15 Day DL (for now)
« on: April 08, 2024, 03:38:12 PM »
The #Reds today recalled from Triple-A Louisville RHP Carson Spiers and placed on the 15-day injured list RHP Tejay Antone (elbow inflammation).

It had all the earmarks of another UCL/TJ injury for Antone. If so probably career ending.   Spiers is probably up for just a few days till Lodolo joins the club.  Then Martinez probably goes to pen.

Update

The Reds announced Monday that right-handed reliever Tejay Antone has been placed on the 15-day injured list. Righty Carson Spiers has been recalled from Triple-A to take his spot on the roster. While Cincinnati initially announced the injury as “elbow inflammation,” manager David Bell now tells the Reds beat that Antone tore a tendon completely off the bone and suffered a partial ligament tear in his right elbow (X link via Mark Sheldon of MLB.com). He’ll undergo surgery Friday. It’s a brutal setback for Antone, who previously had Tommy John surgery both in 2017 and again in 2021.
