Aaron Ashby Being Called Up By Milwaukee
3 years agoThe Milwaukee Brewers are calling up left-hander Aaron Ashby from the minors on Tuesday, according to sources. Ashby was impressive in spring training and has struck out 56 hitters and walked 24 in 38 innings at Triple-A Nashville. While the 23-year-old left-hander, the Brewers No. 7 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was a starter to begin the year in the minors, he had been moved to a relief role and is expected to continue working out of the bullpen. Ashby could be part of a bullpen game against the Chicago Cubs, but he shouldn't be on the radar of fantasy managers in redraft leagues just yet. His athletic yet funky delivery makes it tough for hitters to pick up his stuff, especially lefties, but he'll need to improve his command if he is going to have success at the MLB level.
