Brewers Adjust Rotation as Jakob Junis Hits IL, Aaron Ashby Steps Up

The Milwaukee Brewers face a pitching shuffle with Jakob Junis on the injured list due to a shoulder impingement, prompting the recall of Aaron Ashby from Triple-A Nashville.

Jakob Junis, Brewers starting pitcher, is placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement, retroactive to Wednesday.
Aaron Ashby, once a top prospect and recovering from shoulder surgery, is recalled to fill Junis' spot in the rotation, set to start against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.
Junis' injury emerged during the Brewers' home opener against Minnesota, with imaging tests showing no structural damage.
Ashby, who missed all of 2023 due to shoulder surgery, made his season debut at Nashville, allowing three runs over five innings.
Wade Miley, also recovering from a left shoulder impingement, is expected to rejoin the Brewers' rotation soon after a rehab start at Nashville.
