The appearance on Wednesday was Antone's first in an official game since April 7, 2024 (with the Reds, against the Mets).

Antone spent the entire 2015 season with the Dragons and pitched in the MWL All-Star Game that season. He has appeared in 45 MLB games with Reds with a 2.47 ERA.

Carter Graham in his last 13 games is 16 for 47 (.340) with two home runs, four doubles, and seven RBI, raising his average from .194 to .239.

Bryce Hubbart since joining the Dragons: 3 G, 0.00 ERA, 5.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 5 SO.

Cody Adcock in his last eight games: 1.93 ERA, 14 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 9 BB, 12 SO.

Wednesday's Dayton starting pitcher, Johnathan Harmon, returned from Tommy John elbow surgery on August 6 to make his first appearance in a Full-Season league since June 12, 2024 with the Dragons, when exited with elbow pain in the first inning. Harmon has allowed only two runs (one earned) in 9.2 innings in his two starts with the Dragons in 2025, posting an ERA of 0.93.
