Aaron Ashby surrenders five runs in sixth

Aaron Ashby

MIL Relief Pitcher #26

Player Stats

Aaron Ashby surrendered five runs while getting just one out in relief Wednesday against the Giants.

The Brewers have asked for a whole lot from Ashby this year, even when they scarcely seemed to need him. For instance, just last night, he was brought in to get one out in the sixth inning of a game with no one on and the team leading by five. Whether Ashby has enough left in October figures to have a significant impact on the Brewers’ chances then, and one would think it’s past time to back off him somewhat. He’s given up 19 earned runs in 24 2/3 innings since the beginning of June, taking his ERA from 2.00 to 4.02.

Aaron Ashby notched his second save by throwing a scoreless ninth Saturday against the Braves.

With Abner Uribe on the IL, Ashby is now the fallback to Trevor Megill, and it’s gotten him two saves in seven days. Megill rested today after earning saves on both Thursday and Friday. Ashby did get into a little trouble, giving up a pair of singles, but he got Austin Riley to hit into a double play to end the game.
Aaron Ashby

MIL Relief Pitcher #26

Aaron Ashby pitched a pair of hitless innings for his first save of the season Saturday against the Dodgers.

Ashby has been the Brewers’ win specialist in relief, of course, but it’s still rather surprising that this is his very first save. He got the call tonight with Trevor Megill due another day off and Abner Uribe on the IL. He’s probably looking at more eighth-inning duty and fewer wins while Uribe is out.
Aaron Ashby

MIL Relief Pitcher #26

Aaron Ashby allowed two runs to blow the save and take the loss in the ninth inning against the Braves on Saturday.

Ashby got the call to close out the game against the Braves with a one-run lead in the ninth following a scoreless eighth inning by Trevor Megill. Ashby struck out the first batter, then gave up a base hit to Matt Olson. Ozzie Albies followed with a two-run homer to walk it off. Ashby takes his first loss and third blown save. Despite the matchup play on Saturday, expect Megill to continue regular closing duties.
Aaron Ashby

MIL Relief Pitcher #26

Aaron Ashby notched his 10th win in 10 decisions after allowing a game-tying run in the seventh Tuesday against the Guardians.

Ashby’s wins in middle relief this year have almost exclusively been genuine, but this was a vulture; he coughed up Robert Gasser’s 1-0 lead and then was put in line for the decision after Garrett Mitchell homered in the bottom of the seventh. It’s only the second time one of his wins followed a blown save. Ashby is the first pitcher to 10 wins this year. Davis Martin could have beaten him, but he got smoked by the Yankees tonight. Gavin Williams is the only other pitcher with nine wins at the moment.
Trevor Megill

MIL Relief Pitcher #29

Trevor Megill protected a one-run lead in the ninth for his sixth save Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Abner Uribe went unused today after his controversial gestures at the conclusion of Tuesday’s game. Aaron Ashby ended up with the win after working scoreless seventh and eighth innings, and Megill closed things out despite a one-out single and a steal from Masyn Winn. Since giving up seven runs in a two-appearance span in mid-April, Megill has a 1.29 ERA and an 18/2 K/BB in his last 14 innings of work. Still, Uribe likely remains the favorite for saves in Milwaukee.
Abner Uribe

MIL Relief Pitcher #45

Abner Uribe worked a hitless top of the ninth in a tie game and was rewarded with a victory Sunday.

Trevor Megill, Aaron Ashby and Uribe all had easy innings in a tie game today, even though Ashby was pitching again after throwing two innings last night. For once, the win went to someone other than Ashby after Brice Turang’s walkoff homer in the bottom of the ninth. Uribe’s appearance was his ninth straight to come in the ninth inning of a game.
Aaron Ashby

MIL Relief Pitcher #26

Aaron Ashby got his seventh win in relief after pitching a scoreless ninth and allowing only the automatic runner to score in the 10th against the Yankees on Saturday.

Ashby struck out three after coming into a tie game to begin the ninth. He has a 2.16 ERA while throwing 25 innings in the Brewers’ first 36 games. It’ll be interesting to see if he can stay healthy with his kind of usage, because he’s definitely had issues there previously. He’s been one of the Brewers’ MVPs to date.
Abner Uribe

MIL Relief Pitcher #45

Abner Uribe pitched a perfect ninth with five-run lead Sunday against the Pirates.

In what seems to be their preferred alignment at the moment, the Brewers against went with Trevor Megill in the seventh, Aaron Ashby in the eighth and Uribe in the ninth. All got through scoreless frames, but Megill and Ashby both allowed two baserunners. Uribe, who struck out two, had the best day of the group, adding a little to his stock.
Chad Patrick

MIL Starting Pitcher #39

Aaron Ashby will open for the Brewers against the Nationals on Friday.

Chad Patrick will be the follower against Washington and be (much more likely) to be in line for the win. This is generally good news for Patrick. Ashby should probably be pulled in shallow leagues with daily transactions as he stands little chance of garnering a win.
Aaron Ashby

MIL Relief Pitcher #26

Aaron Ashby struck out four in 1 2/3 hitless innings to pick up a relief win Saturday against the White Sox.

If he can stay healthy and avoid having the Brewers treat him as an opener, Ashby might be the favorite to lead the majors in relief victories this season. The left-hander had a 2.16 ERA over 66 2/3 innings in his 43 appearances last season, and the Brewers aren’t shy about employing quick hooks with their starting pitchers.

The 36-year-old right-hander came away from the session feeling good. The Rangers will wait and see how he’s feeling on Friday before determining whether the next step in his throwing progression will be another bullpen or a live batting practice session.

Guardians’ manager Stephen Vogt confirmed Thursday that left-hander Logan Allen will start the first game of Friday’s doubleheader against the Tigers.

He’ll oppose Tigers’ right-hander Keider Montero in that one. That leaves Foster Griffin to take on Andrew Sears in the nightcap in Cleveland on Friday. Allen has pitched decently in his limited action with the big league club this season, posting a 3.77 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 15/4 K/BB ratio over 14 1/3 innings in six appearances (one start). He’s not a recommended streaming option for fantasy purposes.
