Reds' Graham Ashcraft: Goes on bereavement leave

The Reds placed Ashcraft on the bereavement list Thursday.

Ashcraft pitched Wednesday's win over the Rangers and will presumably be back in time for his next turn in the Reds' rotation early next week in San Diego. The 25-year-old boasts a 2.10 ERA with 24 strikeouts through 30 innings (five starts) this season.
