The Seattle Mariners' starting pitching rotation was remarkably healthy in 2024, with four pitchers starting 30 or more games. However, the bullpen faced significant injuries, particularly to key players Gregory Santos and Matt Brash. Santos, acquired the previous offseason, spent most of the season injured, while Brash missed the entire year recovering from Tommy John surgery. Mariners President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto provided an encouraging update on Brash’s recovery during a Zoom conference, indicating he is ahead of schedule and expects to return around late April, barring setbacks. Brash had a stellar 3.06 ERA in 2023 and is deemed one of the elite setup men in the league. His anticipated return could significantly bolster the Mariners' bullpen as they aim for a stronger performance in the upcoming season.
