Ashcraft Out Indefinitely With UCL Sprain, Lands on 60-Day IL
The Reds starter showed no visible signs of injury in his last outing but has been placed directly on the 60-day IL with a UCL sprain.
The Reds officially placed RHP Graham Ashcraft on the 60-day injured list with a sprain of his ulnar collateral ligament. Ashcraft showed no outward signs of trouble in his most recent appearance, posting normal velocity and a scoreless inning. The direct placement on the 60-day IL signals the team does not expect a quick return. UCL sprains do not always require Tommy John surgery, but recovery timelines vary widely.
