Reds Option Ashcraft to AAA, Activate Pagan from IL
The Cincinnati Reds have optioned struggling pitcher Graham Ashcraft to Triple-A Louisville and reinstated reliever Emilio Pagan from the injured list. Ashcraft, who has shown potential but struggled with consistency, will work on regaining form in the minors. The Reds' rotation will continue with Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, Andrew Abbott, and Frankie Montas, with Nick Martinez potentially filling Ashcraft's spot.
