Seattle Mariners star reliever Matt Brash had Tommy John surgery on his right throwing elbow on Wednesday, and he is expected to miss at least 12 months, per general manager Justin Hollander.
Brash has not pitched with the team this season as he initially tried to rehab his ailing elbow after experiencing soreness during spring training. Ultimately, Brash had the soreness return as he was nearing a potential rehab assignment and the decision was made to shut him down again.Brash had the surgery with Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas."They did a ligament repair and also put in the brace," Hollander said of the procedure.
Hollander said the recovery could even go faster than his projected 12-month timetable, but that he would never count on that type of recovery."They feel really good about how the procedure went and his ability to rehab from it successfully," Hollander said."Everybody loves Matt the person, every teammate loves Matt. What he did for us last year was unbelievable how many times he came through for us.
