Elias made it back to the majors for the first time since the 2019 season after undergoing Tommy John elbow reconstructive surgery just before the 2021 season. 

The thirty-four-year-old posted a decent 3.52 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and six strikeouts over 7.2 innings and seven appearances for the Mariners. 

Over his seven-year career, Elias has posted a 3.96 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 331 strikeouts across 395 innings of work. He's spent time with the Mariners, Boston Red Sox, and the Washington Nationals.

Elias will most likely get a minor-league contract this off-season.
