Mariners Reliever Matt Brash Exits After Two Pitches With Side Discomfort

The team plans imaging Thursday to assess a right-side issue.

Overview

  • Brash left in the eighth inning Wednesday at Target Field after two pitches as catcher Cal Raleigh signaled for trainers, and Gabe Speier took over the at-bat.
  • Manager Dan Wilson said postgame that Brash felt discomfort in his right side and called the removal precautionary, with further evaluation scheduled for Thursday.
  • Brash entered the day with a 0.00 ERA over 13 outings, and this was only his third time pitching on back-to-back days since Spring Training as Seattle had managed his workload.
  • The right-hander said the area bothered him in Tuesday’s outing and again while warming up, and he felt it flare when he put more effort into his delivery.
  • Brash missed 2024 and part of 2025 after Tommy John surgery and dealt with offseason arm inflammation, which led the Mariners to limit spring usage for one of their top late-inning arms.
