Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Evans underwent Tommy John surgery last week and will miss the entire 2026 season, per Jeff Passan of ESPN. The procedure sidelines a promising young arm who played a significant role for the club during his rookie campaign.
Evans made 15 starts for the Seattle Mariners last year, throwing a total of 81.1 innings as he established himself at the major league level. While he was primarily utilized as a depth starter within the Mariners' elite rotation, the loss of the right-hander is a significant blow to the organization's pitching inventory.
The 2026 season would have been the second year of major league action for Evans. The team has not yet announced a specific timeline for his recovery beyond the season-ending diagnosis, which is typical for ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction. The Mariners will now look to their internal options to fill the gap in their rotation depth during his absence.
