In this story:

Graham Ashcraft is changing his number for the 2025 season from number 51 to number 23.

Ashcraft showed off his new number at Reds camp earlier this week when he threw live batting practice to Reds' position players in Goodyear.

The 27-year-old appeared in 15 games for the Reds last season with a 5.24 ERA, a WHIP of 1.50 in just 77 1/3 innings after an injury shut him down for the season.

Ashcraft is expected to compete for the final bullpen spot this spring.
