Returns to minors The Giants optioned Brebbia to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Impact Brebbia was recalled from Sacramento on Monday after Johnny Cueto landed on the COVID-19 injured list, but he heads right back to Triple-A now that Cueto is healthy and active. It's possible the righty finds himself back in San Francisco on Wednesday when rosters expand, as he's a veteran arm who can provide much-needed bullpen depth in the last month of the regular season.

Called up by Giants Brebbia was recalled by the Giants on Monday.

Impact The Giants had to quickly adjust their plans Monday when both Johnny Cueto and Alex Wood landed on the injured list for undisclosed reasons. Cueto was scheduled to start Monday's series opener against the Brewers, so the team will go with a bullpen game instead. Brebbia gives the team an extra arm in the bullpen and could potentially offer some length, as he's recorded five or more outs three times this season.

Hit with loss Brebbia (0-1) took his first loss of the year after allowing a run on two hits while striking out a batter over an inning.

Impact Brebbia entered in the bottom half of the seventh trying to preserve a 1-1 tie but was unable to do so.

The 31-year-old hasn't had a ton of exposure this season. He owns a 4.66 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB over 9.2 innings.

Whiffs three in scoreless inning Brebbia allowed a hit and struck out three in one scoreless inning in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Arizona.

Impact Brebbia has done well since making his long-awaited return from Tommy John surgery June 20.

While he's not likely to see many save chances, he could continue to post solid ratios while working in close games.

Clean inning in season debut Brebbia (elbow) pitched a perfect inning with one strikeout in Sunday's 11-2 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Now recovered from his June 2020 Tommy John surgery, Brebbia was able to make his San Francisco debut. He did well in the final inning of a blowout win. The right-hander last pitched in the majors in 2019, when he had a 3.59 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 87:27 K:BB and 12 holds across 72.2 innings with St. Louis. He'll likely be eased back into action with low-leverage assignments at first, but he could become a key piece of San Francisco's bullpen in the second half of the season.

Comes off IL The Giants reinstated Brebbia (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Brebbia is ready to make his Giants debut after he opened the season on the shelf while he continued to recover from his June 2020 Tommy John surgery. The 31-year-old right-hander was effective during his eight-appearance rehab assignment in the minors, giving up three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out 11 over seven innings. Now that he's healthy again, Brebbia could emerge as a trusted arm in the bridge to the Giants' primary closing options, Tyler Rogers and Jake McGee.
