It’ll be the Graham Ashcraft show for all your ears to hear this afternoon, as the big Cincinnati Reds righty gets his first start of the spring campaign. The biggest free agent signing of the winter by the Reds, however, will not be a part of the defense behind him, as Wil Myers was a late scratch with what’s being reported as ‘lower back stiffness’ by The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosecrans.
As a result, Alex McGarry will get the start against the Oakland A’s at 1B in Myers’ stead. MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon has the revised lineup ready for your perusal.
