Matt Brash Scheduled To Make Spring Debut On Monday

The Seattle Times' Adam Jude reports that Seattle Mariners right-handed reliever Matt Brash (elbow) was expected to make his Cactus League debut on Monday against the San Diego Padres in the spring training finale. Better late than never, right? Brash had an internal-brace procedure on his right arm in May of last year and missed the entire 2024 season, which is why he was delayed at spring training this year. The 26-year-old will obviously open the start of the 2025 campaign on the injured list, but barring a setback as he continues to rehab, Brash could make his season debut in May. Before his injury last year, Brash was a very effective high-leverage reliever in Seattle, especially in 2023. That year, he lead the league in appearances (78) and posted a 3.06 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, his first four career saves, 107 K's and 29 walks in 70 2/3 frames. He could be a sneaky waiver-wire pickup in holds leagues later this year.

Matt Brash Throws Live Batting Practice On Wednesday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Matt Brash threw a live batting practice session on Wednesday, the first time he's done so since having an internal brace procedure on his elbow last May. The hitters were instructed not to swing in this particular session, but Brash was pleased with how it went, with the fastball sitting mostly in the mid-90s and the breaking stuff showing good spin. The next step will probably be to throw a real batting practice session with hitters trying to make contact, but the righty is not expected to be ready by Opening Day, rather, it will be closer to the May-June timeframe. Brash last pitched in the majors in 2023, recording a 3.06 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 107 strikeouts over 70 2/3 innings pitched while logging four saves and 24 holds. Redraft managers who may be in need of strikeouts will want to monitor his return, although some command issues yield a high WHIP; otherwise, he'd be valuable in AL-only leagues and those that reward for holds.

Matt Brash Scheduled To Throw Bullpen On Saturday

According to Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times, Mariners relief pitcher Matt Brash (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen on Saturday. Brash has not returned to the mound since undergoing an internal brace procedure last May. He was unable to pitch at all during the 2024 campaign. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 26-year-old's status as he is not expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. During the 2023 campaign, Brash tallied 25 holds, operating as the setup man for Andres Munoz. Across 70 2/3 innings, the hard-throwing right-hander posted a 3.06 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP. He tallied an impressive 107 punchouts (34.7 percent strikeout rate) and generated a stellar 4.8 percent barrel rate. When Brash returns, he should be viewed as a top option in holds leagues as he will likely return to his eighth-inning high-leverage role.
