Matt Brash To Ramp Up His Throwing Program Soon
3 months agoSeattle 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.
