The Cincinnati Reds activated rookie fireballer Chase Burns and fellow right-hander Graham Ashcraft from the 15-day injured list on Thursday.
Burns, 22, has not pitched for the Reds since Aug. 8 due to a Grade 1 flexor strain in his right elbow. He is 0-3 with a 5.24 ERA in eight starts, striking out exactly 10 batters in four of his last five appearances.
