Alec Asher News
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Alec Asher has been sent down back to Triple-A Colorado Springs Sky Sox after pitching two scoreless innings in Saturday's contest against the Colorado Rockies. The Brewers are facing numerous injuries to the pitching staff including Zach Davies, Wade Miley, and Chase Anderson so any fresh arm that can go more than one inning will look to make an appearance in this series with the Sky Sox being really close to Denver. In a corresponding move, Jorge Lopez was called up. Asher did not hold any fantasy relevance regardless of being in the MLB.
Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alec Asher was claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. Asher has been bouncing from team to team in his last couple of years, as he was originally with Philadelphia in 2016 before being traded to the Orioles in 2017. The Orioles then waived Asher, whom the Dodgers claimed, and now the Brewers will claim Asher after the Dodgers waived him. He has yet to pitch in the majors this year and only had a three-inning, one-run outing with Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate Oklahoma City Dodgers. Asher will not have any fantasy relevance unless they plan to use Asher in their rotation and considering he didn't even make the Orioles terrible record-breaking rotation in 2017, there's a low chance he will be considered by the Brewers.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alec Asher began the season in a middle-relief role, a spot he excelled in. His performance earned him a spot in the rotation over pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez, though he hasn't done much to make management feel good about their decision. In his latest start on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, he took the loss, allowing six earned runs on six hits over five innings with two walks and one strikeout. In four starts since joining the rotation, he has allowed five earned runs or more four times. Baltimore should consider moving him back to the bullpen, where they have lost relievers Darren O'Day and Zach Britton to injuries. For now, he is an unstartable fantasy option.
