Tejay Antone ready to beat the odds after second Tommy John surgery

Tejay Antone had a second Tommy John surgery last August. He was the Reds' top reliever last season. Anton had to give up a chance to be a part of the wild-card race. He allowed a run in just four of his 24 relief appearances and struck out 32.8% of batters he faced.

Tejay Antone had a second Tommy John surgery. He is following the progress of Mike Clevinger, who had the same surgeon. He will play for the Cincinnati Reds in 2022. It's a 12-month rehab process. Some pitchers have recovered from the surgery better than others. They usually return to their previous level of velocity and success. The ulnar collateral ligament in an elbow is more difficult to repair after a Tommy Johns surgery than before. Mikeclever is about a year ahead of Anton's schedule. His first TommyJohn surgery was successful. There are many pitchers who didn't return from a 2nd Tommy Jans after the 2st one.
