Player Outlook
If you play in only nonkeeper league formats, you do not need to read on any further. Matt Brash had Tommy John surgery, which included installing a brace around the repaired ligament, and that surgery was completed May 10, 2024. Best-case scenario is he makes it back on the mound in Seattle by Memorial Day weekend, but these situations rarely work out in those best-case scenarios. The more likely outcome is Brash is back in the big leagues closer to the mid-summer classic and resumes his high strikeout and high walk ways while frequently showing up on Pitching Ninja clips. Pre-injury, his slider was one of the more unhittable pitches in all of baseball and he threw the pitch 51 percent of the time to hitters. Unfortunately, everything else he threw in 2023 was too hittable, as the league hit anywhere from .300 to .429 against his other offerings. Command is always the last thing to come back in these situations, and Brash did not have much to spare before his injury. He will likely be more fun to watch in social media clips than he will be to have on your roster in 2025.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Slated for live batting practice

    Rotowire
    Brash (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. It will be the reliever's first time facing hitters since he underwent an internal brace procedure on his right elbow last May. The Mariners have said Brash could make his season debut by the third week of April in a best-case scenario, but closer to the beginning of May is probably a more realistic target.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Throwing bullpen Saturday

    Rotowire
    Brash (elbow) will throw a light bullpen session Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Saturday will mark the first time Brash has thrown off a mound since he underwent an internal brace procedure on his right elbow last May. He's not expected to be ready for regular-season action until mid-April at the earliest, but a return to mound work is still an encouraging sign.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Aiming for April debut

    Rotowire
    Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said Monday that Brash (elbow) should be ready for the start of spring training and a season debut in the third week of April is the best-case scenario for the reliever, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. While everything with Brash's recovery from last May's internal brace procedure has come along swimmingly, Dipoto acknowledged the uncertainty with how the righty will respond to throwing in Cactus League games. Brash will begin the season on the injured list either way, but the hope is that the stint will be a short one. The 26-year-old boasts a career 31.9 percent strikeout rate and will be in line for high-leverage relief work once he's ready.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Aiming for late-April return

    Rotowire
    The Mariners are optimistic that Brash (elbow) can make his 2025 debut by the end of April, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports. Brash had an internal brace procedure on his right elbow in early May, so a return in April would be aggressive. However, he's been working out at the team's spring training complex in Arizona and is considered ahead of schedule in his recovery. Brash was dynamite out of Seattle's bullpen in 2023, posting a 3.06 ERA and 107:29 K:BB across 70.2 innings. Once healthy, he will serve in a leverage relief role for the Mariners.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Visiting with team in September

    Rotowire
    Brash, who continues to rehabilitate from a May 8 internal bracing procedure on his throwing elbow, will visit with the Mariners during the second week of September, MLB.com reports. As was the case when he dropped by in early August, Brash's visit will allow him to reconnect with the big-league medical and training staff, as well as meet personally with new manager Dan Wilson. Brash was already engaging in plyometric exercises on a trampoline when he was last in Seattle several weeks ago, and there have been no reports of any setbacks as he aims for a pre-All-Star-break return in 2025.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Undergoes Tommy John surgery

    Rotowire
    Brash underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. Brash injured his right elbow during spring training and was pulled off his throwing program after suffering a setback in late April. He will now miss the remainder of the year as a result of his procedure, and the Mariners are hoping he can return by early June next season.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Shut down after setback with elbow

    Rotowire
    Brash has been shut down after having a setback with his right elbow while playing catch Friday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. Brash is headed to Dallas to receive an opinion from Dr. Keith Meister on his injured elbow. It sounds like the setback is a significant one, with Mariners general manager Justin Hollander saying the team is "concerned." Brash had been closing in on a rehab assignment, but his status is very much up in the air.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Rehab assignment imminent

    Rotowire
    Brash (elbow) will pitch once more at the Mariners' complex in Peoria in coming days before a rehab assignment start date is determined, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. The right-hander's extensive build-up following spring elbow trouble appears to be drawing to a close, and Brash seems to have navigated the process without setbacks thus far. Assuming all goes well with his final throwing session, Brash could be toeing the rubber for one of the Mariners' minor-league affiliates shortly thereafter in what would be his first game action of any kind in 2024.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Another live BP coming

    Rotowire
    Brash (elbow) is set to throw another live batting practice over the weekend and will then head out on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, SeattleSports.com reports. Brash threw a live batting practice early this week, and Mariners general manager Justin Hollander noted Friday that the hard-throwing right-hander emerged from that session feeling good. If Brash's second live BP goes equally well, Hollander estimates it will be just a matter of days before Brash heads down to Tacoma for a rehab assignment of a yet-to-be-determined duration.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Encouraging live BP session

    Rotowire
    Brash (elbow) recently threw a live batting practice session in Arizona that went "very well," per manager Scott Servais, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. The valued right-hander remains without a timetable for return, but Servais appeared to be encouraged by the progress Brash has been making in recent throwing sessions. Brash went on the injured list March 29, and considering he never made it into Cactus League action, he'll project for a fairly lengthy rehab assignment whenever he reaches that benchmark.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Heads to IL

    Rotowire
    The Mariners placed Brash (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday. Brash sustained an elbow injury early in camp and didn't end up pitching in the Cactus League, though he was fortunate to avoid surgery after he was diagnosed with inflammation following a visit with Dr. Keith Meister, per MLB.com. The right-hander has since resumed throwing bullpen sessions and is likely to throw off the mound again this weekend before potentially gaining clearance to face hitters. Brash seems to be tracking toward a return from the IL in mid-to-late April.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Resumes mound work

    Rotowire
    Brash (elbow) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. Brash only threw at roughly 70 percent effort, but Wednesday's session marked his first time throwing off the mound since being taken off his throwing program in late February. Brash will throw another bullpen session within the next few days, and it's possible he progresses to facing hitters after that. The 25-year-old righty will likely begin the year on the 15-day IL.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Recovery remains setback-free

    Rotowire
    Brash (elbow) has "picked up his throwing quite a bit" according to manager Scott Servais and could be ready for game action shortly after Opening Day, MLB.com reports. Brash has now upped his throwing distance to 110 feet after hitting the 90-foot threshold early in the week. The next step for Brash is to progress to begin throwing off a mound, and once he's successfully completed that phase of his rehabilitation, he's likely to log game action at the minor-league level before being deemed ready to face big-league hitters.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Extends throwing distance

    Rotowire
    Brash (elbow) will play catch out to 90 feet Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Brash will take an incremental step forward in his recovery from right elbow inflammation, as he had been playing catch out to 60 feet a few days earlier. The right-hander still looks like he might be a week or more away from throwing off a mound, and since he'll need additional time beyond that to face hitters in live batting practice and eventually Cactus League or minor-league rehab games, Brash appears set to begin the season on the 15-day injured list.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Set for throwing session

    Rotowire
    Brash (elbow) is expected to play catch Tuesday with a trainer, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. The right-hander is still expected to be weeks away from a return, but Tuesday represents an important step in his recovery. If Brash is able to come out of the session without any setbacks, he'll likely begin a deliberate process of building up his workload while managing the medial right elbow inflammation he's been experiencing.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Could have serious arm injury

    Rotowire
    Brash (elbow) could be sidelined for a significant period of time, perhaps for the entire season, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports. Brash and the Mariners haven't revealed where exactly the reliever is hurting, but Divish notes that the righty was looking down at his elbow while discussing the injury. Divish also hears from sources that the injury could potentially be long term and, at the very least, is likely to result in an injured list stint to begin the season. Brash struck out 107 batters over 70.2 innings last season and his potential loss would be a devastating blow to Seattle's bullpen.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Dominant for 25th hold

    Rotowire
    Brash secured his 25th hold in a win over the Astros on Tuesday, firing two scoreless innings during which he allowed a hit and recorded two strikeouts. Brash threw 19 of 25 pitches for strikes while extending his scoreless appearance streak to 13 outings. The right-hander continues to primarily see seventh- and eighth-inning work, although he's arguably been more trustworthy overall in the last month-plus than primary closer Andres Munoz. If the Mariners do make it into the postseason, how manager Scott Servais distributes high-leverage assignments will be something to monitor.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Settles into setup role

    Rotowire
    Brash recorded his 23rd hold in a win over the Angels on Wednesday, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed a hit and a walk while recording three strikeouts. Brash worked the eighth inning while posting his eighth consecutive scoreless appearance, a stretch that dates back to Aug. 29. The right-hander has generated a 13.5 K/9 and snagged six holds over that eight-inning sample, as manager Scott Servais has opted to stick with Andres Munoz as the primary ninth-inning option despite some stumbles while often deploying Brash in a seventh- or eighth-inning role.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Nabs second save

    Rotowire
    Brash allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 9-7 win over the Angels. He allowed the first two batters he faced to reach base before settling down. Andres Munoz had converted the Mariners' first two save chances since they traded away Paul Sewald, but he'd pitched three of the last four days, allowing Brash to step up in a high-leverage spot. The 25-year-old righty has two saves and 15 holds this season while pitching to a 3.28 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 80:20 K:BB over 46.2 innings. Brash has the stuff to be an effective late-inning reliever, though he's still got some strides to make with his control.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Grabs seventh win Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Brash (7-3) got the win over the Red Sox on Wednesday, firing a perfect seventh inning during which he recorded two strikeouts. Brash mowed through the Red Sox during a seventh frame in which he needed just 10 pitches to record his three outs. The right-hander was then rewarded for his sharp performance when Seattle mounted a four-run rally in the seventh inning and held on the rest of the way, making him the pitcher of record. Brash is expected to see a boost in eighth-inning work, especially in games when the Mariners have the lead, as part of the reshuffling of the high-leverage end of the bullpen in the wake of Paul Sewald's trade to the Diamondbacks. However, the fact manager Scott Servais called on him to prevent a 3-2 deficit from growing any larger underscores the trust Brash has built with a breakout 2023 that's seen him pitch to a 3.35 ERA and 15.4 K/9 while also garnering 15 holds and one save, in addition to the seven victories.
