Ashby (forearm) is listed as the Brewers' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's home game versus the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby's inclusion on the upcoming pitching schedule suggests that he's on track to avoid the 15-day injured list after exiting his most recent start Thursday with left forearm tightness. Manager Craig Counsell characterized Ashby's injury as more of a fatigue issue following the game, and the let-hander seemingly backed up that sentiment by faring well during his throwing session Saturday. So long as he remains free of setbacks for the next few days, Ashby should be on tap for a normal workload Tuesday.

Ashby (forearm) performed well during a throwing session Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby exited Thursday's start against the Mets as a precautionary measure due to left forearm tightness, but he's downplayed the severity of the issue in recent days. He said Friday that he expects to make his next turn through the rotation, and he was able to ramp up his intensity during Saturday's throwing session. Manager Craig Counsell said Saturday that the left-hander remains day-to-day for now, but he's certainly trending in the right direction.

Manager Craig Counsell described Ashby's injury as more of a fatigue issue following Thursday's loss to the Mets, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby was diagnosed with left forearm tightness after exiting Thursday's matchup in the bottom of the fifth inning, but Counsell said that the southpaw's early examinations didn't reveal anything too concerning. The 24-year-old will be examined further Friday, but he's optimistic that he'll be able to make his next scheduled start. If he's deemed healthy enough to pitch, Ashby tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Ashby exited Thursday's start against the Mets as a precautionary measure due to left forearm tightness, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby left Thursday's matchup with a trainer in the bottom of the fifth inning after he allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five in 4.1 innings to begin the game. While forearm tightness can be a concerning diagnosis for a pitcher, the southpaw's velocity remained normal in the fifth inning, and he attempted to be making a case for staying in the game. Ashby will likely be examined further in the coming days to determine the extent of his injury.

Ashby was removed from Thursday's start against the Mets in the bottom of the fifth inning due to an apparent injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby issued a walk before giving up a two-run homer with no outs in the bottom of the fifth inning, and he exited the game with a trainer after forcing a groundout to record the first out of the inning. The nature and severity of his injury aren't yet clear, but any potential absence would be a significant blow to the Brewers' rotation since Brandon Woodruff (hand) and Freddy Peralta (lat) are on the injured list.

Ashby (1-5) allowed six runs on 13 hits and a walk while striking out two in 4.2 innings to take the loss during Friday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby was dominant over his final two starts in May, as he logged a 0.77 ERA and 1.20 WHIP while striking out 17 in 11.2 scoreless innings during that time. However, he's given up 10 runs in 10.2 innings over his first two outings in June. The southpaw still handled a significant workload Friday, as he threw 104 pitches (77 strikes). Ashby tentatively lines up for a tough matchup on the road against the Mets on Thursday.

Ashby (1-4) took the loss against San Diego on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out nine over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby had his stuff mostly working in the contest, as he registered 16 swinging strikes and struck out nine batters. However, he was hounded by Padres first baseman Jake Cronenworth, who notched a run-scoring double in the third inning and a two-run homer in the fifth. Ashby has fanned 21 batters across 12 innings over his past two starts, and he has tossed a season-high six frames in each appearance. He is settling in as a full-time starter and is consequently seeing his fantasy stock soar. Ashby is lined up to make his next start in Washington next week.

Ashby (1-3) allowed a run on five hits and two walks with 12 strikeouts in six innings in Monday's 3-1 win over the Cubs in the second game of a doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby posted his longest outing of the year, and it was one of his best, with the 12 strikeouts marking a season high. The lone run on his line was a Willson Contreras solo home run in the fourth inning. Ashby continues to pitch well since joining the rotation, and he now has a 2.70 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 51:22 K:BB across 40 innings in 11 appearances (five starts). He lines up for a home start versus the Padres this weekend -- he limited them to one unearned run in 5.2 innings in a May 25 start in San Diego.

Ashby didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Padres, allowing one unearned run on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Pitching in San Diego, the city where his uncle Andy became a two-time All-Star in the late 90s, Ashby stifled the Padres over 91 pitches (59 strikes) but left the game on the hook for his fourth loss until the Brewers scrounged up a couple runs in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old southpaw will be a regular member of the rotation while Freddy Peralta (lat) is sidelined, and while he's still looking for his first win of 2022, Ashby's 2.91 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 39:20 K:BB through 34 innings suggest it shouldn't be too long in coming.

Ashby is listed as the Brewers' scheduled starting pitcher for Wednesday's game in San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Ashby has worked out of the bullpen for both of his last two appearances, but he'll slot back into the rotation this week with the Brewers in the midst of a stretch of 18 games in 17 days. The 24-year-old lefty should have a good chance to stick around as a permanent member of the rotation for the foreseeable future, as the Brewers placed No. 3 starter Freddy Peralta on the 15-day injured list Monday with a lat strain that will likely keep him on the shelf for several weeks. Ashby is likely already rostered in most deeper leagues, but he'll be an intriguing pickup in shallower formats now that he has a clear path to making regular turns through the rotation. Over 60 career big-league innings, Ashby owns a 4.05 ERA (3.33 SIERA), 1.27 WHIP and 17.2 K-BB%.
