Graham Ashcraft Injury Update Reds Moved to MLB Injured List

Krall said Ashcraft will receive a PRP injection and will not pitch for the next two weeks. There is no timeline yet for Ashcraft’s return.

Before going on the injured list, Ashcraft had been beaten out by Carson Spiers for the No. 5 starter spot. The Reds currently have Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, Andrew Abbott, Frankie Montas and Spiers in the rotation.

Ashcraft’s injury is another blow to their starting pitching depth. Starter Brandon Williamson (shoulder) is out until at least September and prospect Connor Phillips had terrible results in Triple-A before being moved to rookie ball as a chance to reset.
