Matt Brash Targeting Late-April Return
According to Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com, Mariners relief pitcher Matt Brash (elbow) is targeting to return during the third week of April. However, Brash is supposed to be ready for spring training. The 26-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery last May but is not expected to miss much of the 2024 season. While he will likely open the season on the injured list, fantasy managers should monitor his progress during spring training. In 2023, Brash posted a 3.06 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP. He struck out 107 batters across 70 2/3 innings of work. He generated a stellar 38.3 percent whiff rate and a strong 34.3 percent hard-hit rate. He operated primarily as the setup man for Andres Munoz as he tallied 25 holds. When healthy, fantasy managers should expect him to return to that role, and he is a strong target for leagues that score holds, given his elite strikeout upside.
