Ashby covered 4.1 innings out of the bullpen in Friday's 15-4 loss to the Cardinals, giving up two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out four.
Even though Brett Anderson (shoulder) was moved to the injured list Thursday, Ashby doesn't look like he'll receive the chance to stick in the rotation as a sixth starter, at least for the upcoming week. Because he was needed to eat innings in long relief Friday after Freddy Peralta's short start, Ashby is out of the mix to fill Anderson's next turn through the rotation, which was set to come Monday versus the Phillies.
