Ashby will start Sunday's series finale against the Giants in San Francisco, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jason Alexander had been listed as the Brewers' probable starter for Sunday, but the team will go with Ashby on three days' rest instead. The reason for the change was not immediately available. Ashby went 4.1 innings his last time out and has failed to complete five innings in four of his last five starts around an IL stint with left forearm inflammation.

Ashby allowed one earned run on six hits and three walks while striking out five across 4.1 innings Wednesday against the Twins. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby limited the damage against him effectively, and he has now allowed only three earned runs across his last 9.1 innings in the span of two starts. However, in order to record 13 outs Wednesday, Ashby had to throw 101 pitches -- only 58 of which went for strikes. Ashby has shown flashes of effectiveness as a starter this season, but he'll have to improve his control to get more consistent results, as he has walked more than three batters in six of 11 starts on the campaign. Overall, Ashby owns a 4.37 ERA with a 81:32 K:BB across 68 frames for the season.

Ashby (2-6) gave up two earned runs on two walks and three hits while striking out three over five innings to earn the win in a 4-3 victory over the Pirates on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby did just enough to earn the win against a weak Pirates offense by lasting five innings on 72 pitches. The only runs he gave up came on a two-run shot off the bat of Diego Castillo in the fourth. The win breaks a chain of poor outings which saw the 24-year-old left-hander's ERA spike from 2.70 at the end of May to 4.60 coming into this start. Despite the struggles, Ashby's plus stuff has racked up 76 strikeouts in 63.2 innings pitched this season. He is expected to take the mound next week at San Francisco.

Ashby (1-6) took the loss during Saturday's 7-4 defeat at the hands of the Pirates, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk with six strikeouts in 3.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Making his return from a two-week stint on the IL due to a forearm injury, Ashby navigated the first two frames unscathed but encountered trouble in the third when he surrendered three runs and was chased by an Oneil Cruz home run the following inning. Despite the abbreviated start, the 24-year-old still struck out six batters and recorded an impressive eight swinging strikes on only 62 pitches. Ashby carries a mediocre 4.60 ERA into a rematch with Pittsburgh slated for next weekend.

Ashby (forearm) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list prior to Saturday's start against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby spent the minimal amount of time on the injured list and will rejoin the Brewers' rotation after throwing a bullpen Wednesday. The southpaw made three starts in June and posted an 8.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 15 innings.

Ashby (forearm) is lined up to start Saturday's game in Pittsburgh, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby threw a bullpen session Wednesday that apparently went well, as the southpaw is slated to return from the 15-day injured list when first eligible Saturday. The 24-year-old struggled ahead of his absence, as he allowed 14 runs in 15 innings over his three starts prior to landing on the IL.

Ashby (forearm) threw a bullpen session in Tampa on Wednesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby has been on the 15-day injured list since June 17 due to forearm inflammation, but he's downplayed the severity of the issue recently. He'll meet with the team's staff following Wednesday's throwing session to determine the next steps in his recovery, but it's possible that he returns to the mound during the Brewers' weekend series in Pittsburgh.

Ashby (forearm) said he's feeling great and is scheduled for a bullpen session Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby hit the 15-day injured list with left forearm inflammation Monday but said later that day he wasn't overly concerned about the issue. His outlook remains positive, though whether or not it's an accurate outlook won't become clear until after he tests his arm in the bullpen.

Ashby isn't particularly worried about the forearm inflammation which sent him to the injured list Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby left his previous start Tuesday against the Mets due to the injury, but he appeared to be on track to avoid missing time before the Brewers changed course and placed him on the injured list. Ashby's lack of concern stems from the fact that his velocity was fine in his Sunday bullpen session, but the Brewers nonetheless decided it was best for him to miss at least two turns in the rotation.

Ashby was placed on the 15-day injured list with left forearm inflammation Monday, retroactive to June 17.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby sustained his forearm injury during Thursday's start against the Mets, but he expressed optimism over the last few days that he'd be able to play through the issue. He was initially listed as the probable starter for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals after completing a bullpen session Sunday but will ultimately land on the injured list due to inflammation. The Brewers haven't yet announced who will take the southpaw's place in the rotation, and it's not yet clear whether Ashby will miss more than the minimum of 15 days.
