The Reds are losing Graham Ashcraft to the 60-day IL. Here's what we know

The ebbs and flows of the Cincinnati Reds‘ pitching staff’s health continued with the team’s announcement that reliever Graham Ashcraft was headed for the 60-day injured list.

Ashcraft, who last pitched May 25 against the New York Mets, landed on the 60-day IL with what the team called a ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) sprain of the right forearm, Reds officials announced on Friday, May 29.

In a corresponding move, the Reds called up righty pitcher Yunior Marte from Triple-A Louisville.

The Reds bullpen, which had already been shaky at times in May, must now contend with the loss of one if its premium relief arms. Ashcraft, a converted starting pitcher now in his second year as a reliever, was 1-1 in 2026 with a 3.33 ERA over 27 innings across 26 games.

Reds manager Terry Francona will likely address Ashcraft’s injury during his scheduled pre-game meeting with reporters on Friday, May 29.

The Enquirer will update this report.
