At the end of the 2015 season, the 2012 fourth-round selection made seven starts for the Philadelphia Phillies. He went an abysmal 0-6 with a 9.31 ERA. A year later, Asher fared much better in his second season-ending stint in the Phillies rotation with a 2-1 record and 2.28 ERA in five starts. The Orioles acquired Asher from Philadelphia in late March, and he split the season between the major leagues and Triple-A. Although Asher struggled some in six starts with the Orioles (1-4, 6.98 ERA), he was 1-1 with a 3.56 ERA in 18 relief appearances. At Norfolk, Asher made 10 starts. He had a 4.65 ERA overall, but those numbers were skewed when he allowed seven runs in 1 2/3 innings against Gwinnett on Aug. 30. Before that start, he had a 3.51 ERA. Asher appears better suited for a long-relief role. But, depending on what happens this offseason, he could earn a starting spot in the spring.
