Ashby (shoulder) is on track to begin a minor-league rehab assignment next Saturday at High-A Wisconsin, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby has been working through some mechanical issues but recently turned a corner and looks ready to pitch in a live game for the first time in 2023. The 25-year-old left-hander underwent arthroscopic surgery on his throwing shoulder in April. Ashby tossed a 35-pitch bullpen session Saturday, and he'll head to the Brewers' spring training complex in Arizona this week for a live batting practice session before he reports to Milwaukee's Midwest League affiliate. He's expected to serve as a multi-inning reliever for the Brewers once he returns from the 60-day injured list.

Ashby (shoulder) acknowledged Tuesday that he is still working on his delivery in side sessions, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

At last check, the 25-year-old left-hander was said to be nearing a minor-league rehab assignment, but his velocity hasn't returned to full force and he'll need more time before returning to live games. Ashby has been on the shelf all season due to a shoulder injury that required arthroscopic surgery back in early April.

The Brewers will make a decision on when to send Ashby (shoulder) on a rehab assignment "very soon," Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby has been throwing bullpens and batting practice at the Brewers' complex in Arizona with no issues, but he hasn't been able to get up to his usual velocity. As a result, the team will be forced to decide whether to keep building Ashby up or send him on a minor-league rehab assignment. Manager Craig Counsell emphasized the importance of having Ashby capable of operating at "full octane" for Milwaukee down the stretch, but he added there will be "hurdles to clear" in order to do so.

Ashby (shoulder) will begin appearing in Arizona Complex League games in the near future, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's still no clear timeline for Ashby's return to Milwaukee, but he will be brought back up as a reliever, allowing for a quicker rehab assignment. The 25-year-old lefty could eventually be stretched back out into a starter, but for now his role seems set as a multi-inning reliever.

The Brewers moved Ashby (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby is expected to miss the majority of the season after undergoing surgery on his shoulder. The move to the 60-day IL clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Bennett Sousa after Sousa was traded to Milwaukee from the Reds on Sunday.

Ashby underwent surgery Friday on the labrum in his left shoulder, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

An official for the Brewers tells McCalvy that the surgery went as well as could be hoped. The southpaw is expected to miss significant time with the shoulder injury, and the Brewers are expected to share more information about the plan for his recovery in the coming days.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell announced Wednesday that Ashby needs arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The procedure is scheduled for Friday and could knock Ashby out for the entire season. He was placed on the 15-day injured list just before Opening Day after being diagnosed with an impingement and slight labral tear back in late February. The initial hope was that the 24-year-old southpaw might be able to join the Brewers by mid-May, but treatment and rest failed to solve the issue. Milwaukee will likely soon move him to the 60-day IL.

Ashby (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby is likely to miss the first six weeks of the regular season while recovering from the left shoulder injury, and he has yet to return to throwing bullpens as of yet after being diagnosed with a partial tear and impingement of his labrum. The southpaw could make starts for the Brewers upon his return, but Milwaukee might ease the 24-year-old back into action.

Ashby (shoulder) played catch on flat ground Wednesday in Brewers camp, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby said he was tossing at a distance of about 75 feet and that the workout lasted around 10 minutes. He plans to do something similar within the next couple of days, assuming his left shoulder continues to respond well. The 24-year-old southpaw will open the 2023 season on the injured list after being diagnosed last month with a slight labral tear and impingement, but he could be an option for Milwaukee by mid-May if there are no hiccups in his throwing progression.

Ashby (shoulder) is scheduled to do some flat-ground throwing Wednesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby is nearing the end of a six-week shutdown period while he works his way back from an impingement and slight labral tear in his left shoulder. The hope is that the southpaw will be ready to rejoin the Brewers around mid-May, although he'll have a lot of boxes to check to make that happen.
