JT Brubaker - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Re-signs with Giants Brubaker signed a one-year contract with the Giants on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Brubaker enjoyed his most successful season in the majors while working primarily as a reliever in 2025, logging a 3.77 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 28.2 innings between the Yankees and Giants. The 32-year-old righty will likely compete for a rotation spot during spring training, though he could also be used as a long reliever again if he misses the cut.

Goes four frames in spot start Brubaker tossed four innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four batters.

Impact Brubaker was given a turn in the rotation after the Giants decided to shut down Robbie Ray for the remainder of the campaign. Brubaker fared okay in the outing, giving up a pair of third-inning runs but getting through four frames on 68 pitches and notching four punchouts. This was the right-hander's first start of the season, though he'd thrown at least two innings in each of his previous five appearances coming into Wednesday. If Brubaker doesn't enter in any of the Giants' final three games -- a distinct possibility given his pitch count Wednesday -- he'll finish the campaign with a 3.77 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB over 28.2 innings during his time with the Giants.

Drawing start Wednesday Brubaker will start Wednesday's contest versus the Cardinals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact He's sliding into the rotation in place of Robbie Ray, who is being shut down. All 16 of Brubaker's appearances in the majors this season have been in relief, but he's gone multiple innings in each of his last five outings and has made eight starts in the minors in 2025, so he's relatively stretched out. Still, the Giants' bullpen will be active in the series finale.

Joins big-league roster The Giants selected Brubaker's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Impact Brubaker inked a minor-league deal with San Francisco last month following his release from the Yankees. The 31-year-old right-hander pitched in 12 games out of the bullpen for New York this season, logging a 3.38 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 10:9 K:BB across 16 innings. He'll likely work in relief for the Giants initially, but he could get a look in the rotation at some point in September with injuries having tested the team's starting depth of late.

Nabs minor-league deal from SF Brubaker signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Wednesday.

Impact Brubaker was let go by the Yankees on Thursday after turning in a 3.38 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 16 innings with the big club. The 31-year-old righty owns a 4.63 ERA at the Triple-A level, however, so the Giants will likely look for more consistency from him in the minors before adding him to their MLB pitching staff.

Released by Yankees The Yankees released Brubaker on Thursday.

Impact Brubaker had been booted off the 40-man roster earlier this week and is now free to seek a job elsewhere. The right-hander has collected a 3.38 ERA and 10:9 K:BB over 16 relief innings at the big-league level this season.

Aaron Judge returns to the lineup at DH as the Yankees wait for clarity on his throwing arm

Designated for assignment The Yankees designated Brubaker for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Brubaker reached the majors this year after missing two seasons due to injury, posting a 3.38 ERA and 10:9 K:BB over 16 relief inning. Given his $1.82 million salary, it seems unlikely the right-hander will be claimed on waivers.

Expected to be DFA'd The Yankees will designated Brubaker for assignment, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Brubaker has managed a 3.38 ERA in 12 relief appearances for the Yankees, but that's come with an uninspiring 10:9 K:BB over 16 frames. The 31-year-old didn't pitch in the majors in 2023 or 2024 while recovering from multiple injuries, including Tommy John surgery. Brubaker will likely pass through waivers unclaimed.

Cleared for team debut The Yankees reinstated Brubaker (ribs) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Not only will Brubaker be making his season debut when he gets into a game, but he'll also be making his Yankees debut. After being acquired from the Pirates last March, Brubaker was limited to just a handful of rehab appearances in 2024 while he recovered from April 2023 Tommy John surgery and an oblique strain. He was fully healthy heading into spring training, but Brubaker sustained three rib fractures when he was struck by a comebacker in late February. The right-hander proved his health over a month-long rehab assignment and ended it in impressive fashion this past Friday, when he gave up one earned run on no hits and two walks in a five-inning start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Though Brubaker built up as a starter during his minor-league assignment, the Yankees are initially expected to use him in long relief.

Impact Brubaker has yet to make his Yankees debut since being acquired from the Pirates in March 2024, as he was limited to a slew of minor-league rehab appearances last season while completing his recovery from April 2023 Tommy John surgery. The right-hander received a clean bill of health heading into spring training, but he fractured three of his ribs after being struck by a comebacker in late February and has spent the last three-plus months working his way back from the injury. Brubaker has finally reached the finish line in his recovery, and he closed out his extended rehab assignment in impressive fashion by allowing one earned run on no hits and two walks over five innings in his most recent outing with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. Though Brubaker has been building up as a starter during his rehab, he may be more likely to work in long relief once the Yankees activate him within the next few days.
