On Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners brought back right-handed pitcher Matt Brash from the injured list while sending left-handed pitcher Robinson Ortiz down to Triple-A Tacoma.
The 28-year-old Brash was placed on the 15-day injured list back on May 1 due to inflammation in his right lat muscle. This season, he has posted impressive numbers with a perfect 2-0 record and 0.00 ERA across 14 relief outings for Seattle. The team has found success when Brash takes the mound, going 12-2 in games where he has appeared.
Since joining the Mariners for his big league debut in 2022, Brash holds a career record of 16-11 with a 3.10 ERA and eight saves over 184 appearances, including five as a starter. He sat out the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
The 26-year-old Ortiz was brought up from Tacoma just this past Monday but has not yet appeared in a major league game. In Triple-A action this year, he carries a 0-1 record with a 2.81 ERA through 15 relief appearances.
