Justin Dunn

It was just throwing catch before a game, miles from pitching on a big-league mound, but it was an important step for Justin Dunn last week. Dunn hasn’t pitched in a game since June 17, 2021, and after a few setbacks with his right shoulder, he’s happy to celebrate milestones. Last week was his first time throwing since he was traded to the Reds in March.  ...

The Cincinnati Reds made the trade with the Seattle Mariners, so they claim, knowing that Justin Dunn would be sidelined with a shoulder injury. While the specifics of the injury have not yet been revealed, Reds manager David Bell has said that the injury will keep Dunn out for a couple of months.

The decision to attach Jesse Winker to Eugenio Suarez to facilitate a trade was already unpopular with Cincinnati Reds fans. The return for that duo – Justin Dunn, Jake Fraley, Brandon Williamson, and a player to be named later – was underwhelming. Dunn, at least, is a well regarded pitching prospect, giving the Reds something to point to as a sign of hope.

What in the world are the Cincinnati Reds doing? I'm serious! I'm typically a glass half-full kinda guy, but none of the moves Cincinnati has made since the lockout concluded have made much sense. The latest injury update on the newly acquired Justin Dunn makes general manager Nick Krall look even more incompetent.

Throughout the offseason, plenty has been made about the Mariners needing to find another starting pitcher. The conversation continued even after the Robbie Ray signing, as many wondered who would take the 5th and final spot in the rotation. Personally, I think the Mariners can save their money and use it on hitters because they already have the solution currently on the team. His name is Justin Dunn.

One of the first young players to make his debut in the big leagues for the Seattle Mariners at the start of their rebuild was Justin Dunn. He debuted in 2019, and started all 10 games available for him in the Mariners’ six-man rotation in 2020. Last year, he was one of Seattle’s six starters at the beginning of the season; the 2021 season was a season of some marginal improvements for Justin Dunn, but overall one without much success. The Mariners have some choices of what to do with him going forward.

With a walk-off two-run home run in the 13th inning by catcher Christian Vazquez, the Boston Red Sox have taken a 2-1 lead in the ALDS. The Tampa Bay Rays were on pace to take the lead in the top of the 13th after a drive from Kevin Kiermaier to deep center, but the ball bounced off the wall and then hit Hunter Renfroe before ending up in the bullpen. Since the hit was ruled a ground-rule double, Yandy Diaz was held at third and no runs were scored.

He threw just four pitches in a rehab game for Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday before exiting with an apparent setback, the severity of which should become clear following his MRI.

Dunn (shoulder) threw a simulated game Friday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. Dunn is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, and Friday's throwing session marked the first time he faced live hitters since he was placed on the injured list in mid-June.
