The Mariners announced on Friday that right-hander Logan Evans had surgery to reconstruct a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right arm on Jan. 23. The UCL reconstruct and internal brace procedure was performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Texas. The estimated recovery time is approximately 12 months.
Evans made his Major League debut with the Mariners in 2025, posting a 6-5 record with a 4.32 ERA (39 ER, 81.1 IP) in 16 games (15 starts). The righty recorded 59 strikeouts compared to 31 walks and was ranked as one of the Mariners’ top pitching prospects heading into his debut season.
In his Major League debut on April 27 vs. Miami, Evans tossed five innings with two runs allowed and registered the victory. His May 27 start vs. Washington marked the longest outing by a Mariners pitcher all season, tossing 8.0 innings and allowing one run in his win over the Nationals.
Evans was selected by the Mariners in the 12th round of the 2023 MLB Draft out of the University of Pittsburgh, also attending Penn State during his collegiate career.
