Brewers Video
Josh Hader had been on the paternity since Wednesday but was transitioned to the restricted list over the weekend and is back after spending a few extra days with his family. He has been absolutely lights out having held opponents scoreless in 20 of his 21 appearances this season. Milwaukee swept the Reds in his absence, but did drop Thursday’s tilt against the Mets in which New York scored the winning run in the bottom of the 8th inning.
Milwaukee placed Aaron Ashby on the injured list retroactive to June 17. He winds up there with left elbow inflammation, which is never a positive development. Ashby left his most recent outing with the trainer, and his absence is another blow to the already depleted pitching staff. Ashby owns a 4.25 ERA in 55 innings this season.
Hopefully Ashby can return to the roster sooner rather than later, but that’s up in the air with Milwaukee feeling the next to make this move. Teams had to get down to 13 pitchers on their active roster as of Monday.
