The Cincinnati Reds have placed right-handed reliever Graham Ashcraft on the bereavement list and called up hard-throwing right-handed pitcher Luis Mey. Ashcraft has been one of Cincinnati's best pitchers so far this year. He already has a bWAR of 0.8. To put that in perspective, his bWAR last season was 0.2 and it was 0.3 in 2024. He's appeared in 15 games for the Reds and has given up just two earned runs over 15 innings. “I’ve got to keep pounding the zone like I was last year and let stuff happen." Ashcraft told FOX 19's Charlie Goldsmith in Spring Training . "I’m a ground ball guy. I’ll get punch outs when I need to, but a lot of my outs come from the ground. I’ve got to induce weak contact when I can and let the rest take care of itself. Stay after them. Don’t back down. You have to go in there and shut the door.” Luis Mey Gets Another Shot Aug 3, 2025; Bristol, Tennessee, USA; Cincinnati Reds pitcher Luis Mey (62) reacts during the fourth inning against the Atlanta Braves at Bristol Motor Speedway.…
