LHP Sam Moll (left shoulder impingement)
Expected return: 2025
The Reds shut Moll down for the season so that he can focus on offseason treatments. The southpaw was dealing with the shoulder injury since mid-June, but it worsened on Sept. 6, when it started to hurt while he was warming up in the bullpen. Though Moll felt well enough to enter a Sept. 7 game against the Mets, he did not retire any of the three batters he faced before landing on the IL the following day. (Last updated: Sept. 29)
RHP Tejay Antone (right elbow surgery)
Expected return: 2025
Antone, who had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow and arm surgery to repair tears in his ulnar collateral ligament and flexor mass tendon on April 12, has been working out near his home in Texas, lifting weights and undergoing physical therapy. Reporting that he has been feeling good and is not in pain, Antone is scheduled to undergo MRI and ultrasound exams in October to check on his progress. If all goes well, Antone could be cleared to begin throwing with weighted plyo training balls. (Last updated: Sept. 4)
