Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brash was a workhorse for Seattle last season, establishing career-highs in games played (78) and innings (70.2). He was 2nd among qualified relievers with 107 strikeouts and 8th with a 34.7% strikeout rate and 25.3% K-BB%. The 25-year-old's 9.4% walk percentage was below-average (34th percentile), but a significant improvement over 2022's 14.9% mark. Brash's improved control was likely a big factor in him earning more high-leverage opportunities. He primarily settled into a setup role and racked up a career-best 25 holds, 9 wins and 4 saves. Brash threw far more sliders (50.5% usage) last season, a +12.7 percent difference in usage from 2022. It continues to be his most successful offering (.162 BAA, 48.5% whiff), while his secondaries could still use some work despite adding velocity on his 4-seamer (98.1 mph average). It's clear Brash is most successful as a reliever, so expect him to maintain a late-inning role for the Mariners in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Shut down after setback with elbow
Brash has been shut down after having a setback with his right elbow while playing catch Friday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
ANALYSIS
Brash is headed to Dallas to receive an opinion from Dr. Keith Meister on his injured elbow. It sounds like the setback is a significant one, with Mariners general manager Justin Hollander saying the team is "concerned." Brash had been closing in on a rehab assignment, but his status in the short- and long-term is very much up in the air.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Thriving in high-leverage role
Brash owns a 1.98 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 13.2 innings since the All-Star break.
ANALYSIS
Brash is tied for the MLB lead with 14 appearances in the past 30 days. He recorded just his second save of the season August 4, but the 25-year-old has also notched 17 holds and eight wins across 57 appearances. He's a sneaky source of fantasy value with a slightly boosted ceiling after the Mariners traded closer Paul Sewald at the deadline.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Brash opened the year in the Mariners' starting rotation, but issued 17 walks and had a 2.05 WHIP through five starts and was subsequently demoted to the minors. After two months in Triple-A, he returned to Seattle as a reliever. The right-hander fared much better in this role, recording a 2.35 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 43:16 K:BB over his final 30.2 innings. He still had one of the league's worst walk rates at 14.9%, but issued "only" 4.7 BB/9 in relief versus 7.7 BB/9 as a starter. Brash didn't find success with his 97 mph fastball (.379 BA), but his slider and curve were excellent. It's clear he has the stuff to be a shutdown reliever for the M's, but he'll need to improve his control to earn more high-leverage opportunities.
