Ashcraft Lands on 60-Day IL With UCL Sprain, Season Likely Over
The Reds reliever was placed directly on the 60-day IL with a right forearm UCL strain, signaling a potentially season-ending injury.
The Cincinnati Reds officially placed Graham Ashcraft on the 60-day injured list on May 29, 2026, citing a UCL sprain in his right forearm. The decision to bypass the 15-day IL and go straight to the 60-day IL suggests the injury is serious. The move is widely viewed as potentially ending Ashcraft's 2026 season and possibly requiring Tommy John surgery. In a corresponding roster move, the Reds selected the contract of Yunior Marte from Triple-A Louisville.
