The Seattle Mariners have activated right-handed reliever Matt Brash from the injured list, clearing the way for him to make his first big-league appearance since Sept. 2023 -- and, more pertinently, since undergoing Tommy John surgery and having an internal brace installed last spring. In a corresponding move, the Mariners demoted reliever Troy Taylor. Brash, who will turn 27 in just over a week's time, had emerged as a quality high-leverage reliever prior to suffering the injury.
