2024 Fantasy Outlook
Last season got off to an inauspicious start for Antone as he needed a platelet-rich plasma injection for a flexor strain experienced during offseason rehab from undergoing Tommy John surgery in August of 2021. After extending his in season rehab a couple of times, Antone came off the IL on September 1, last having pitched in the majors in June 2021. Antone mustered only five appearances, before returning to the IL with right elbow tendinitis, ending his season in mid-September. It was only 5.2 innings, but Antone yielded just one earned run while fanning seven, prompting the Reds to ink Antone to a one-year, $830,000 deal, avoiding arbitration. Clearly, health is the concern for the two-time Tommy John recoveree. Antone has back of the bullpen stuff, though it remains to be seen if the Reds will slow play his usage. Read Past Outlooks
Officially makes roster
Antone has claimed one of the final spots in the Reds' Opening Day bullpen, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
After spending more than two full seasons on the injured list, Antone questioned whether he would ever pitch in a big-league game again. His return from a second Tommy John surgery last year was cut short due to renewed elbow discomfort, but he has earned a roster spot this spring and will be on the Opening Day roster for the first time since 2021. Antone said that he has stopped chasing velocity and embraced a new sinker in light of his injuries. Expect the right-hander to pitch mostly in the middle innings to begin the 2024 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Antone was on the verge of a breakout in 2021 before persistent elbow issues and a right forearm strain required Tommy John surgery. The 29-year-old missed the entire 2022 season, but mentioned during a late November interview that he's on schedule to be ready for spring training. Antone still has some hurdles to clear, but will report early to Goodyear to complete the final phase of his rehab. If cleared, one thing to monitor throughout spring is the velocity on his sinker. Antone typically sat between 95-97 mph in 2021 and was reportedly 93-95 mph towards the end of last season. If his curveball and slider are still effective, Antone could quickly regain ace reliever status, but don't expect an abundance of high leverage opportunities early in the season.
