Matt Brash's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Mariners right-hander Matt Brash (elbow) had an internal-brace procedure in early May, but he has been working out at the team's spring training facility in Arizona this fall and is ahead of schedule in his rehab from elbow surgery. As a result, the Mariners are optimistic that Brash could return to their bullpen by the end of April. Seattle's bullpen was hampered by injuries all year in 2024, so the return of Brash to a key late-inning role as a setup man would be excellent news for the M's. The 26-year-old Canadian hurler was excellent in his second major-league season in Seattle in 2023, going 9-4 with a 3.06 ERA (2.26 FIP), a 1.33 WHIP, his first four career saves, 107 strikeouts and 29 walks in 70 2/3 innings over a league-high 78 appearance out of the bullpen.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Matt Brash (elbow), who had Tommy John surgery on May 8, is scheduled to rejoin the team in Seattle during the second week of September, at which point he'll be able to ramp up his throwing program more. Brash also joined his teammates in early August to work with the team's high-performance staff and connect with pitching coach Pete Woodworth and director of pitching strategy Trent Blank. The 26-year-old initially experienced soreness in his second bullpen session in spring training. He had his UCL in his pitching elbow fixed and a brace installed, which should allow him to return faster. It's why the Mariners are hopeful Brash can return in 12 months, potentially as early as next June. Perhaps Brash's elbow was taxed after appearing in a league-leading 78 games in 2023 while posting a solid 3.06 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, his first four saves and 107 K's in 70 2/3 innings of work.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Matt Brash (elbow), who had Tommy John surgery on May 8, joined the team for a homestand that started on Aug. 2 to work with the club's high-performance staff and connect with pitching coach Pete Woodworth and director of pitching strategy Trent Blank. Brash is also at the onset of starting "what is a long throwing program process," according to general manager Justin Hollander. The 26-year-old had the UCL in his right elbow fixed and a brace installed, which has typically allowed patients to start physical therapy sooner. It's why the Mariners are hopeful that he can return in 12 months, potentially as early as June of 2025. Brash wasn't able to get on the mound at all in 2024 after experiencing soreness in his right elbow during his second bullpen during spring training.
