Graham Ashcraft - Optioned voided, sent to ILThe Reds voided Ashcraft's option to Triple-A Louisville and instead placed him on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right elbow strain, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnat...ImpactThe 26-year-old was demoted after giving up a run on six hits and three walks over 4.2 innings Sunday versus Detroit, but he'll end up making his way to the injured list rather than Louisville. Ashcraft has a 6.91 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB over his past six starts, though it's unclear how long he's been dealing with the injury. He's without a clear timeline for his return but will be eligible to be reinstated early in the second half, though he may still be sent to the minors once healthy.
