Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Ashby (shoulder) will begin appearing in rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League in the near future, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Ashby remains without a clear timeline to make his season debut for Milwaukee, but the Brewers intend to use him out of the bullpen once he completes his rehab assignment, given that working as a reliever will allow for a quicker buildup. The 25-year-old is already in Arizona working his way through a throwing program and has resumed tossing bullpen sessions. He'll likely need to face live hitters in batting practice on a few occasions before the Brewers formally clear him to play in ACL games.
