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.
Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Matt Brash (elbow) underwent successful Tommy John surgery this week. The right-hander had his UCL repaired and is expected to be sidelined until June of 2025. That timeline seems a bit optimistic, but it's possible he returns around then if he doesn't suffer any setbacks. The loss of Brash is a significant hit to the Mariners bullpen considering how well he has pitched in the past. His absence won't mean much for fantasy purposes with Andres Munoz locked into the closer role.
Seattle Mariners right-hander Matt Brash (elbow) has been shut down after having a setback with his right elbow while playing catch Friday. He will head to Dallas to see Dr. Meister to evaluate his injured elbow further. Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said he is "concerned" about the latest setback for Brash. The 25-year-old is considered day-to-day, but the latest news is that his rehab assignment has been paused. Brash had been sidelined all season after landing on the injured list with inflammation on his right elbow. Andres Munoz will remain Seattle's primary closer, while Ryne Stanek will handle high-leverage situations with Brash sidelined.
Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Matt Brash (elbow) is nearing a rehab assignment, according to Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. Brash has been shut down since Spring Training due to elbow inflammation but has recently thrown a bullpen session and is now quickly approaching the final step in his recovery process. The 25-year-old was an elite set-up man for Seattle last season as he posted a 3.06 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with 107 punchouts across 70 innings. Brash finished the season with 24 holds, which tied him for 11th best in the major leagues. Brash is worth looking into in leagues that score holds, as he will be given ample opportunities and should also improve your team's pitching ratios.
