White Sox agree to terms with reliever John Brebbia Former Cardinal, Giant gets one-year deal

JANUARY 20, 2024 • SUNTIMES.COM

Luck stays bad in finale Brebbia (3-5) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning to take the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Kyle Harrison spun five no-hit innings to start the game, but Brebbia quickly put two runners aboard. Taylor Rogers (back) then served up a three-run home run after allowing both of Brebbia's baserunners to score, putting the game out of reach for the Giants' light-hitting offense. All five of Brebbia's losses came over his last five appearances of the season, spoiling what had been a decent campaign for the middle reliever. He ends 2023 with a 3.99 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB while adding six holds and a blown save over 38.1 innings.

No help from defense Wednesday Brebbia (3-4) took the extra-inning loss Wednesday versus the Padres, allowing three unearned runs on one hit and one walk over one inning.

Impact Brebbia's ugly end to the campaign continued -- he's given up eight runs (four earned) over his last five outings, taking losses in each of the last four. He got two outs to start the 10th inning, but a sacrifice fly brought in a run before an error allowed the Padres to extend their rally. Brebbia is at a 3.55 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 46:13 K:BB through 38 innings this season. With the Giants having three games left against the Dodgers, Brebbia's struggles are unlikely to go away before the season ends.

Loses again Tuesday Brebbia (3-3) allowed one run on one hit and struck out two over 1.1 innings, taking the loss as the opener Tuesday versus the Padres.

Impact Kyle Harrison (illness) was a late scratch, with Brebbia stepping into his familiar opener role on short notice. Brebbia gave up a solo home run to Juan Soto in the first inning, and that was enough to take the loss as the Giants' offense mustered just six baserunners in the game. The right-hander has faded late in the season, allowing five runs (four earned) over his last four appearances, taking a loss in three of those outings. He's at a 3.65 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB through 37 innings this season.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss as opener Brebbia (3-2) allowed a run on a hit and a walk while striking out one over 1.1 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Brebbia surrendered a solo home run to J.D. Martinez in the second inning, and that was ultimately all the Dodgers needed for the win. This was Brebbia's second loss in as many outings, and he's given up four runs (three earned) over his last 2.2 innings. The right-hander is at a 3.53 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 44:12 K:BB through 35.2 innings across 37 appearances (nine starts). He may see another opening assignment or two before the end of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening Saturday Brebbia will open Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Brebbia has been used as an opener often this season, as Saturday will mark his ninth time starting on the mound. Brebbia has given up four runs (three earned) over 5.2 innings since returning from the injured list Sept. 5, and he will presumably stay in the game for an inning or two before turning things over to Ross Stripling.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Handed first loss Brebbia (3-1) allowed a run on one hit and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Thursday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Brebbia relieved starter Kyle Harrison with one out in the sixth inning. Will Smith tagged Brebbia for a triple and J.D. Martinez added a sacrifice fly to put the Dodgers ahead for good. Brebbia has allowed four runs (three earned) over 5.2 innings in September -- he's struggled since returning from a Grade 2 lat strain. The right-hander is at a 3.41 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 43:11 K:BB with six holds and a blown save over 34.1 innings this year.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records third win Brebbia (3-0) allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the win Friday over the Rockies.

Impact Brebbia kept the Giants within a run in the top of the eighth inning, and they rallied ahead in their half of the frame. This was Brebbia's second outing since returning from a lat strain that landed him on the 60-day injured list -- the right-hander had allowed a solo home run Wednesday versus the Cubs in his first game back. He's at a 3.23 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 38:10 K:BB through 30.2 innings this season. Brebbia had served as a middle reliever and occasional opener prior to his injury, so it's possible he could get some starting assignments in the coming weeks, though those would be unlikely to see him cover more than an inning or two.

Giants reinstate reliever John Brebbia from the 60-day IL and place OF AJ Pollock on waivers

The San Francisco Giants have reinstated reliever John Brebbia from the 60-day injured list

Giants activate RHP John Brebbia, release OF AJ Pollock The San Francisco Giants received a boost in their fight for a National League wild-card playoff spot when the team activated right-handed r...

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Activated from 60-day IL San Francisco activated Brebbia (lat) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Brebbia made three scoreless minor-league rehab appearances and is now back in the Giants' bullpen ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Cubs. He had been sidelined since June 17 due to a Grade 2 lat strain.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for rehab appearance Brebbia (lat) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance Wednesday for Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Brebbia threw a simulated game Sunday, and he's now set to take another step in the right direction by making a rehab appearance. The right-hander was moved to the 60-day IL on July 31 due to a right lat strain, so he'll likely need a game or two in the minors to get acclimated before the team activates him.

AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses sim game Brebbia (lat) faced rehabbing teammate Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) in a simulated game Sunday, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact Brebbia hasn't made any rehab appearances since tossing a scoreless inning Tuesday for the Giants' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, but his ability to complete a simulated game this weekend suggests he hasn't suffered a setback. The Giants haven't yet revealed whether Brebbia will require any additional rehab appearances or simulated games before returning from the 60-day injured list, but in any case, the team may elect to wait until rosters expand to 28 men Sept. 1 before activating the veteran reliever.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for rehab outing Brebbia (lat) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact After completing a throwing progression, Brebbia has been deemed ready for his first game action since mid-June, when he was placed on the injured list with a right lat strain. Since the Giants aren't expected to deploy Brebbia has anything more than a one- or two-inning reliever or opening pitcher once he's activated from the 60-day IL, the right-hander isn't expected to require the full 30-day rehab window to prepare himself for a return to the big leagues. Brebbia notched two wins and six holds while pitching to a 3.14 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 28.2 innings over 29 appearances with the Giants prior to landing on the IL.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throwing bullpen session Brebbia (lat) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Brebbia has missed nearly two months with a Grade 2 right lat strain but is finally ready to test things out on the bump. He's eligible for activation next week but could require a few rehab appearances first.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to 60-day IL The Giants transferred Brebbia (lat) to the 60-day injured list Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Brebbia has been on the injured list since June 17 with a Grade 2 lat strain, and he'll now be held out until at least August 16. The 33-year-old righty began throwing off a mound last weekend, so a return to the bullpen in mid-August seems possible.

JULY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for mound work Brebbia (lat) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this weekend, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact It will be the first mound workout for Brebbia since he landed on the injured list June 17 due to a Grade 2 lat strain. If all goes well with his throwing program, the 33-year-old right-hander should be an option again for the Giants in the early part of August, or maybe even before the end of July.

JULY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Report: Giants RHP John Brebbia (lat) out 4-8 weeks The San Francisco Giants placed right-hander John Brebbia on the 15-day injured list and Wilmer Flores on the 10-day injured list Saturday a...

JUNE 18, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Placed on IL with lat strain Brebbia was placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 16, by the Giants on Saturday with a Grade 2 lat strain, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact Brebbia has been one of the better relievers and openers for the Giants, as he has a 3.14 ERA and has been the starter in eight contests for the Giants. He'll miss at least two weeks while recovering, and Alex Wood was activated off the 15-day IL in the corresponding transaction to start against the Dodgers on Saturday.

JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opener again Friday Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opener Friday versus the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Brebbia is basically now part of the Giants' rotation -- his last three appearances have been starts -- but he'll likely again pitch only an inning or two before giving way to a parade of other relievers. The 33-year-old righty carries a strong 3.25 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB in 27.2 innings (28 appearances) for the season.

JUNE 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening again Sunday Brebbia will serve as the opener for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Brebbia threw 19 pitches while going two scoreless innings against the Giants on Saturday, and he'll grab another start for the series finale against Chicago come Sunday. Tristan Beck is expected to work as the bulk hurler after Brebbia leaves the game.

JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening Saturday's contest Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Brebbia will be working as an opener for the sixth time this season, but he shouldn't be expected to cover more than an inning or two before giving way to the bullpen. The Giants haven't formally appointed a pitcher to work in bulk relief behind Brebbia, but Jakob Junis -- who hasn't appeared in a game since last Sunday -- looks like the most logical option to eat innings out of the bullpen.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Filling opener role Tuesday Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game in Colorado, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The Giants haven't designated a bulk reliever to work behind Brebbia, but Sean Manaea -- who hasn't pitched since last Tuesday -- seems like the most logical option to fill most of the innings out of the bullpen. Brebbia previously served as an opener in front of Manaea for that same game last Tuesday versus the Pirates, giving up a solo home run and retiring two batters before turning the game over to the Giants' relief corps.
