Mariners Notes: Brash, Simpson, Robles, Right Field
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Mariners placed setup man Matt Brash on the 15-day injured list retroactive to April 30 due to lat inflammation, and recalled lefty Josh Simpson from Triple-A Tacoma as a corresponding move.
- Brash exited early from a game against the Twins with side tightness and will be shut down for 3-5 days, with no structural damage expected and plans to resume throwing early next week.
- Brash had an impressive start to the season, allowing only one unearned run in 11 1/3 innings and ranking second on the team with four holds, pitching in high-leverage situations behind closer Andrés Muñoz.
- Seattle’s bullpen has been strong overall with a 3.31 ERA, ranking third in the majors, and contributions from key relievers like Muñoz, Gabe Speier, Eduard Bazardo, and Jose A. Ferrer.
- Victor Robles is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday after being sidelined since April 7 with a pectoral strain, following a difficult 2025 season marred by injury.
