Ashcraft to surgery - will miss rest of season
#1
https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/graham-ashcraft-to-receive-surgery-on-toe-miss-rest-of-season

This sucks for the playoff push.

I guess now it would fall to Greene, Abbott, and...Williamson I guess? Or maybe Phillips if he can pitch like he did last night? (7 IP, 2 ER)
I'm really not liking what the Reds have going now with both Ashcraft and Lodolo out the rest of the year.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!

If the Reds make the playoffs, there is a serious chance one of the games could be a bullpen one.

I should mention that for those who had not noticed in recent games, Lively is pitching essentially as a long reliever.
The guys they are actually giving the starts are not actually starters, but just placeholder relievers getting to pitch 1-2 innings before going to either another reliever for 1-2 innings or Lively to pitch 3-5 innings.

I assume they're doing this to get him ready to pitch as a long reliever for postseason (if they make it, obv).
