Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby getting the start at Petco Park in front of uncle Andy Ashby; Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr. still not cleared to grab a bat
birthday on Tuesday at brunch with family, including the uncle who hadNo, not technically, but maybe Petco Park doesn’t get built if the Padres don’t go to the World Series in 1998, the year Andy Ashby won 17 games.
Aaron Ashby began the season ranked No. 1 in the Brewers system and No. 37 in Baseball America’s top-100 prospect rankings. He threw 31 2/3 innings last year and has a 3.49 ERA over 28 1/3 innings this year, mostly out of the Brewers’ bullpen. Wednesday’s start is his fourth of the season for a Brewers team that lost Freddy Peralta to what’s expected to be a lengthy injury, meaning this could be Aaron Ashby’s opportunity to really stretch his legs in the rotation.
Andy Ashby went on to pitch 14 years in the majors, including parts of six more seasons after the Padres’ World Series run. After three years with the Dodgers, he signed with the Padres in 2004 — the year Petco Park opened — and appeared in one game on the mound his nephew will step onto Wednesday. “But it’s special time. I still can’t believe it. To see him on that mound will be pretty cool. I might shed a tear.”While Fernando Tatis Jr. still continues to take ground balls, run the bases and work on his conditioning, the results of the latest scan of his surgically repaired wrist has not yet shown enough progress to clear him to hold a bat.
