Reds Activate Chase Burns, Graham Ashcraft for Wild Card Push

Reds, two games back in the NL Wild Card race, activated pitchers Burns and Ashcraft from the IL. Ashcraft owns a 3.72 ERA with 56 Ks in 58 innings and will resume late-inning duties. Burns’ electric stuff could earn him a high-leverage role. The Reds, after series wins vs. Mets and Padres, now face Oakland in Sacramento.
