While he might be eased in initially, Ashcraft, who didn’t go on a rehab assignment, will eventually return to his setup role after missing 15 days with a forearm strain. He has a 3.72 ERA in 53 appearances this season.

Ashcraft has been a mid-to-late inning option for the Reds in 2025 and has pitched well with a 3.72 ERA and 56/24 K/BB ratio across 58 innings over 53 appearances. The right-hander will miss at least two weeks, but forearm injuries often require lengthier absences.

Ashcraft has mostly operated in a setup role this season for Cincinnati, registering a serviceable 4.19 ERA across 34 1/3 innings (29 appearances). He’s likely to wind up missing at least a couple weeks, even in a best-case scenario.

Ashcraft was tasked with holding a two-run lead in the ninth, and the 27-year-old wasn’t up to said task. He allowed a sac fly and then an RBI single to blow a chance for his first save of 2025. The Reds will likely turn back to Emilio Pagan in their next save chance. Pagan was unavailable tonight after working the last two contests.

This came about because a rain delay limited Andrew Abbott to four innings. Ashcraft entered with a 4-1 lead in the fifth and cruised for three innings, throwing 26 strikes among his 31 pitches. His ERA now stands at 0.57, though he has been charged with five unearned runs in addition to the one earned. There might be a window for him to get saves for the Reds at some point, but Emilio Pagán would have to falter first.
