Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Matt Brash, Seattle Mariners relief pitcher, has been dealing with right lat inflammation since late April 2026. He was placed on the 15-day IL on April 29 and began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma in mid-May. In his first rehab outing on May 14, he struck out all three batters faced, touching 96 mph. In his second rehab game, he struggled with command, walking two batters while striking out one in 2/3 innings, showing some grimacing and reduced athleticism on defense. The Mariners are taking a cautious approach with his return, monitoring his progress through live action games before potentially recalling him to the active roster.
