Reds Recall Antone After Third Tommy John

The Reds are making the move after closer Emilio Pagan suffered a hamstring injury. Antone, 32, has been effective at AAA level with a 2.25 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 12 appearances this season. The team must clear a 40-man roster spot for the pitcher.

Antone's return comes as the Reds battle through a five-game losing streak. The team will face the Cubs at Wrigley Field tonight with their bullpen in flux following Pagan's injury. palladian.co.za
