Cincinnati Reds DFS SPIN

Reds activated RHP Graham Ashcraft from the bereavement list. Ashcraft has been away since Thursday, but he’ll return to start Tuesday against the Padres. Fernando Cruz was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain in a corresponding roster move.

San Diego Padres DFS SPIN

Michael Wacha surrendered three runs in five innings versus the Cubs on Wednesday. The right-hander walked one and struck out five on the night. He coughed up a two-run bomb to Trey Mancini in the bottom of the fourth and a run-scoring single off Nico Hoerner’s bat in the fifth. He had 11 swinging strikes on 99 pitches, with an underwhelming 27 CSW percentage. The 31-year-old will carry a bloated 6.75 ERA into a home matchup on Tuesday against the Reds.
