Pirates Put Ashcraft on 15-Day IL With Arm Discomfort
TL;DR Summary
The Pittsburgh Pirates placed right-hander Braxton Ashcraft on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Sept. 7) due to throwing-arm discomfort; Antwone Kelly was recalled to take his spot, and Ashcraft won’t pitch again in 2026 pending tests. He logged 165 1/3 innings with a 3.65 ERA and strong strikeout/walk metrics this season, a key component of a rotation that has exceeded expectations but leaves Pittsburgh five games back of the wild-card with a .500 finish in sight.
