Aaron Ashby Could Be An Option For Brewers Bullpen
1 year agoMilwaukee Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby (shoulder) has been out since hurting his left shoulder in the lead-up to spring training. He progressed all summer before hitting a bit of a roadblock in terms of his velocity. But Ashby had a good week of throwing during the team's Aug. 22-27 homestand and was slated to throw an inning on a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Wisconsin on Sept. 2. Manager Craig Counsell said the plan is for Ashby to pitch for Wisconsin this week and then move to Double-A Biloxi next week. Milwaukee is planning to throw the southpaw in short stings, so he likely won't need many rehab outings before he's an option for the Brewers bullpen later this month and into the postseason.
