Tejay Antone To Throw Bullpens Next Week
4 years agoCincinnati Reds relief pitcher Tejay Antone (forearm) will start throwing bullpen sessions next week, according to manager David Bell. Antone went back on the injured list in late June with a right forearm strain, but he's progressing and had a successful flat-ground throwing session on Tuesday. Barring setbacks, the right-hander could return to the team in the middle of next month. The 27-year-old has only thrown 33 2/3 innings this year, but he also has a sparkling 1.87 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 42 strikeouts and three saves. If Antone returns to a high-leverage role in Cincinnati's bullpen when he's activated, he'll be worth picking up for those that need help in saves/holds leagues.
