Asher signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
After being released by the Rockies in mid-March, Asher pitched in the independent Atlantic League during the 2019 season. The right-hander spent most of 2018 with Triple-A Columbus, where he recorded a 6.05 ERA and 1.60 WHIP with a 49:36 K:BB across 16 starts. Asher will have the opportunity to work with the big-league coaching staff before likely returning to the minors until potentially earning another shot with the Twins' bullpen.

Asher agreed to a minor-league contract with the Rockies, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander split the 2018 season between the Dodgers and Brewers organizations, logging all but two of his 24 appearances (17 starts) at the Triple-A level. While with the Brewers' Pacific Coast League affiliate at Colorado Springs, Asher posted a 6.05 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 96.2 innings, numbers that don't portend well for him finding success at Coors Field if he should get a look with the Rockies at any point in 2019.

Asher cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Asher was designated for assignment back on Tuesday to make room for Jake Thompson. The 26-year-old's 5.42 career ERA through 119.2 major-league innings wasn't appealing enough for another team to claim him, so he'll remain with the Brewers in an organizational depth role.

Asher was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Asher was cast off the team's 40-man roster in order to clear room for Jake Thompson, who was acquired from the Phillies on Tuesday. The 26-year-old tossed three scoreless innings for the Brewers, but he struggled to a 5.51 ERA across 85 innings with Triple-A Colorado Springs. He'll report back to the Sky Sox if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Asher was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Asher was up for four games and made his second appearance of the season, tossing a scoreless inning Thursday in Pittsburgh. He could be up again in a low-leverage role at some point in the second half.

Asher was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Asher will provide reinforcements within the Brewers' bullpen as the club gears up for five games in four days. He's only appeared in one contest with the major-league team this season, so don't expect him to serve out of any high-leverage situations. Across 62.1 innings with Colorado Springs, he's logged a 4.62 ERA and 1.47 WHIP.

Asher was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers will swap Asher out with a fresh bullpen arm (Jorge Lopez) after the 26-year-old tossed a pair of scoreless relief innings Saturday against the Rockies. He'll continue to serve as organizational pitching depth for the Brewers in the minors.

The Brewers recalled Asher from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Asher was designated for assignment by the Brewers on April 19 and then outrighted to Colorado Springs after clearing waivers. The 26-year-old started three games for Colorado Springs, allowing six runs (three earned) on 12 hits and four walks over 14 innings. Asher has a career 7.4 K/9 in the minors and doesn't have much fantasy appeal, and could serve in a long-relief role for the Brewers after the team used six relievers to cover seven innings during Friday's victory.

The Brewers outrighted Asher to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Asher went unclaimed off waivers after being designated for assignment last week, so he'll stick around in the Milwaukee organization as starting depth in the minors. The 26-year-old right-hander made 24 appearances (six starts) with the Orioles in 2017, accruing a 5.25 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 47 strikeouts in 60 frames.

Asher was designated for assignment on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers made the move after acquiring Tyler Saladino from the White Sox. Asher, who was claimed by the Brewers on Tuesday, did not make a single appearance with the club during his time in the organization. He'll now be subject to waivers again and could return to the Brewers if he's not traded or goes unclaimed.
