The Reds activated Ashcraft (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Thursday. Ashcraft was shelved for the past two weeks with a right forearm strain, but he'll skip a rehab assignment and rejoin the Reds' bullpen for their weekend series against the Athletics. The right-hander has posted a 3.72 ERA and 56:24 K:BB over 58 innings in 2025 in his first season as a full-time reliever.

Ashcraft (forearm) played catch Saturday, MLB.com reports. Ashcraft was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 27 due to a right forearm strain, which an MRI confirmed to be inflammation in a muscle near his wrist. The next step for Ashcraft is to throw a side session Sunday and then face live hitters.

The Reds placed Ashcraft on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right forearm strain. Ashcraft will be eligible for activation Sept. 9, but even if he's able to recover from the forearm strain with rest and rehab rather than season-ending surgery, he's still likely to need more than 15 days to move past the issue. He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to lefty Nick Lodolo (finger), who was activated ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Dodgers. Ashcraft had emerged as a key late-inning weapon for the Reds in his first season as a full-time reliever and had been especially effective so far in August, logging 1.59 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB and collecting five holds in 11.1 innings over his 12 appearances on the month.

Ashcraft will receive an MRI on his right forearm, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Ashcraft has reportedly been dealing with some soreness in his forearm near his wrist, so the Reds will have him undergo imaging to determine whether his discomfort is the result of a structural issue. The team will likely determine if a move to the injured list is necessary once the results of his tests come back.

Ashcraft walked one and struck out two over a scoreless inning in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies. Ashcraft, fresh off the injured list Friday, had a pair of scoreless outings over the weekend. Both appearances were in the seventh inning, as Ashcraft maintains a late-game role out of the Cincinnati bullpen. He has a 3.96 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP with 41 strikeouts and 15 walks across 36.1 innings.
