Cincinnati (AP) — Jonathan India, a Cincinnati Reds infielder, was scratched Monday after being injured by a batted ball during batting practice, adding to the team’s already lengthy injury list.
The Reds also announced that reliever Tejay Antone would undergo season-ending surgery on his right arm, most likely on Friday. Antone left Sunday’s 3-1 loss to the New York Mets after tossing one pitch and gripping his right elbow.
An MRI on Monday revealed considerable damage.”The tendon has torn away from the bone, and the ligament is torn,” stated manager David Bell. “He sounded quite optimistic and encouraged about the future. As for the specifics, he needs some time.Antone underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2017 and August 2021. The 30-year-old right-hander missed the 2022 season before returning to the Reds in September. He made five appearances for the big league team before being sidelined due to elbow injury.
Antone made the team out of spring training this year, allowing one earned run in two innings over four appearances. He was put on the 15-day disabled list before the start of a four-game series against Milwaukee, and right-hander Carson.
