Matt Brash Stats

According to a tweet from The Seattle Times' Ryan Divish on Wednesday, Seattle Mariners pitcher Matt Brash will reportedly head to Spring Training as a starting pitcher. Divish tweeted: "Dipoto said they plan to have Matt Brash come to spring training stretched out as a starter for depth purposes, but will move him back to the bullpen if the rotation remains healthy and unchanged." Brash appeared in 39 games for the Mariners as a rookie, making five starts and throwing 50.2 total innings at the Major League level. All told, he logged a 4.44 ERA and a 3.51 FIP to go along with 62 strikeouts and 32 walks allowed. The right-hander logged a 7.65 ERA in 20 innings as a starter before being switched to a relief role for the rest of the season.

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Ken Giles (shoulder) has been put on the 15-day IL, and right-handed pitcher Matt Brash has been recalled to replace him. Giles felt something in his right shoulder after throwing a pitch in Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays and was immediately taken out of the game. It's a tough break for the former closer, who had made just five appearances this season after returning from Tommy John surgery that kept him out for all of 2021. The silver lining here is that it makes room for Brash to return to the MLB roster, although it will be out of the bullpen. After a tough first go in the majors, the young righty has racked up 41 strikeouts over 26 innings pitched with a 3.46 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in triple-A. The control remains an issue, but his stuff is undoubtedly dominant. Keep an eye on him for now.

The Seattle Mariners optioned starting pitcher Matt Brash to Triple-A on Thursday. The 23-year-old suffered his third loss of the year against the Houston Astros on Wednesday. He allowed six hits, four walks and four earned runs over three innings in the game. Over his first five MLB starts, he had an ugly 7.65 ERA and 2.05 WHIP with 19 strikeouts and 17 walks. Brash has a great deal of upside, as shown by his 2.31 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 13.1 K/9 at Double-A and High-A last year, but clearly he has some work to do before finding success in the majors. He can be dropped in all standard season-long fantasy leagues, but dynasty league managers should continue to hold on hope.
