Mariners' Matt Brash: Pauses throwing due to arm issue
Brash hasn't thrown since Tuesday and will remain shut down through the weekend after he said his right arm "just didn't feel great" the day after a bullpen session, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.
Brash's bullpen session Tuesday was his second this spring, and he didn't bounce back as hoped Wednesday. He's been doing daily rehab and lifting weights, and the M's believe he will be able to resume a throwing program next week. For what it's worth, Brash said he's dealt with something similar in the past and is not concerned. It's a worrisome development, but there's plenty of time for him to get back up to speed before Opening Day. The Mariners are also currently without fellow setup man Gregory Santos (lat), so there could be some early-season hold opportunities available for other relievers.
