Justin Dunn Stats

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) is expected to miss a couple of months with a shoulder injury. Dunn was part of the package acquired from the Seattle Mariners in the trade that sent third baseman Eugenio Suarez and outfielder Jesse Winker to Seattle. The right-hander battled shoulder and control issues last year for the M's, although he did have a decent 3.75 ERA (4.74 FIP) and 49 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings over 11 starts. The 26-year-old was expected to compete for a rotation spot to open the year, but that obviously won't happen now. Top prospect Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo and Brandon Williamson could be candidates to begin the year in the rotation with both Dunn and Luis Castillo injured.

Seattle Mariners pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) has fallen behind Justus Sheffield (forearm) in their rehab programs. Manager Scott Servais said, "he was disappointed he wasn't able to get up on the mound on this trip." Dunn has been sidelined since June 18 with a right shoulder strain. The 25-year-old could not complete a bullpen session this week and will need to complete a couple of rehab outings before Seattle activated him from the injured list. The Mariners right-hander owns a 3.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 49 strikeouts across 50 1/3 innings in 2021. Dunn will look to get back on the mound but more than likely won't return until at least late August.

Seattle Mariners starting pitchers Justin Dunn (shoulder) and Justus Sheffield (forearm, oblique) are making progress. Dunn will start throwing off a mound in five days, while Sheffield has resumed playing light catch. Dunn has been out since mid-June with a right shoulder strain, but he'll be a solid option to return to the M's rotation after he recorded a 3.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 49/29 K/BB in 50 1/3 innings over his 11 starts before the injury. His 13.3 percent walk rate could easily get him in trouble when he returns, though. Sheffield went on the injured list this month with a left flexor strain and a Grade 2 oblique strain, so he'll certainly need more time before Seattle considers him an option for the rotation again, especially since the 25-year-old lefty had a 6.48 ERA when he got hurt.
