Matt Davidson Test Positive For Covid-19 Tucker Barnhart On Paternity Leave



Firstbaseman Matt Davidson was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to the Reds' game with the Detroit Tigers Saturday. He tested positive for Covid-19. Aristedes Aquino was recalled to take his place.

Tucker Barnhart was placed on the three-day paternity leave.

The Reds recalled RHP TJ Antone to take Barnhart's place on the 30-man active roster.

Antone will make his Major League debut if and when he pitches.  He was the Reds' fifth pick in the 2014 draft out of Weatherford College and Mansfield High School in Texas.  He split 2019 between Chattanooga and Louisville, making eight starts for each.  Antone was 7-4 with a 3.38 ERA for the Lookouts and 4-8 with a 4.65 ERA for the Bats.

The 26-year old allowed two runs in 8 1/3 innings this spring, impressing the Reds coaching staff,  He struck out six and walked two.
