Instead of bouncing back from a preseason injury scare, Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Matt Brash underwent UCL surgery and will miss the next 12 months.
elbow inflammationSeattle sent Brash to Texas to meet with a specialist, Dr. Keith Meister, who ultimately determined the reliever would need surgery after all. The Mariners then moved Brash from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list on Wednesday – the same day as his brace procedure.
Matt Brash had Tommy John surgery on Wednesday, Justin Hollander just said … He had the ligament repaired and brace procedure, and they anticipate that he’ll be ready for Major League activation by next June.Brash made his MLB debut in 2022, going 4-4 with a 4.44 ERA, 1.559 WHIP, 11.0 strikeouts per nine innings and a 0.1 WAR across 39 appearances.
The righty took the next step in 2023, improving his stats across the board in an AL-leading 78 appearances. Brash went 9-4 with a 3.06 ERA, 1.330 WHIP, 13.6 strikeouts per nine innings, four saves, 24 holds and a 1.3 WAR – second-best among Mariners relievers. Brash will not contribute to Seattle's bullpen this season, however, and he likely won't be his usual workhorse self when he returns in 2025. He will be 27 years old the next time he takes the mound in an MLB game, based on Hollander's timeline.
The Mariners have now had two pitchers undergo Tommy John surgery over the past two months – Brash and Jackson Kowar.Sam Connon is a Staff Writer for Fastball on the Sports Illustrated/FanNation networks.
