Eligibility
The Brewers transferred Aaron Ashby to the 60-day IL.

Fantasy Impact
Ashby was placed on the 15-day injured list to begin the season after dealing with a left labrum issue in camp and will now be sidelined until late in the season at best, according to skipper Craig Counsell. It's a significant blow for the Brewers as Ashby posted a 4.44 ERA across 107 1/3 innings last season in 27 outings between 19 starts and eight relief appearances. He also worked to a strong 26.5% K% but is at risk of missing the 2023 season altogether.

Ashby will need to continue to show progress in his throwing program before he can begin thinking about joining the Brewers during the regular season.
