Placed on 15-day IL Brubaker was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to bruised ribs, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact It's not clear at this time when Brubaker picked up the rib injury, but it'll cost him some time on the shelf. Ryan Walker was recalled to take Brubaker's place in the bullpen ahead of Monday's game against Cincinnati.

Clean inning for second save Brubaker pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Astros.

Impact While it wasn't a high-pressure situation, Brubaker did his job to protect a three-run lead. The Giants' bullpen looks to be morphing into a committee following the team's sell-off at the trade deadline. Dylan Smith was presumably unavailable after pitching -- and blowing a save chance -- in Monday's game, though Brubaker also took a blown save in that contest. Brubaker is up to two saves and three holds on the year while pitching to a 3.34 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 37:23 K:BB over 56.2 innings. His past experience as a starter makes him viable in a multi-inning role, but he's also got some of the better surface numbers of the relievers on the Giants' roster, so it wouldn't be surprising if he continues to get some looks in save situations.

Opening Friday's game Brubaker will be the Giants' opening pitcher for Friday's bullpen game against the Tigers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The former starter has been used exclusively in relief this season by the Giants, though he has logged three-plus innings in five of his 34 appearances. Brubaker will be pitcher on two days' rest after yielding one run in one inning of work in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.

Holds on for first save Brubaker secured the save Saturday against Colorado, allowing a solo home run and no walks in two innings. He struck out two.

Impact Caleb Kilian blew the save in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies and also worked each of the past two days for the Giants, so the club called upon Brubaker for his first save chance of the year Saturday. San Francisco has struggled for stability at closer largely due to Ryan Walker's season-long struggles, leaving the door open for Brubaker to see more high-leverage work. Brubaker has a 2.87 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 33:20 K:BB with three holds over 47 innings.

Logs three scoreless innings Monday Brubaker threw three scoreless innings in Monday's 6-2 loss to Arizona, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one.

Impact Brubaker entered in the seventh inning and turned in a productive performance while tossing 23 of his 35 pitches for strikes. He's logged three scoreless innings in back-to-back appearances, issuing three walks over those two games. The right-hander now owns a 2.96 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 19:15 K:BB across 27.1 innings in 18 outings so far this season.

Logs scoreless inning Sunday Brubaker threw a scoreless inning in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Washington.

Impact Brubaker generated three consecutive outs in the eighth inning, throwing six of his 12 pitches for strikes. The right-hander hasn't allowed a run in any of his last five outings, giving up four hits and five walks while striking out three across 5.2 innings during that span. Overall, the 32-year-old owns a 2.38 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 8:8 K:BB over 11.1 innings in nine appearances.

Tosses scoreless inning Sunday Brubaker allowed one hit and one walk in one scoreless inning during Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.

Impact Brubaker gave up a single and issued a walk but was able to escape the ninth inning without surrendering a run, throwing 12 of his 19 pitches for strikes. Aside from a lackluster performance during Friday's loss to the Mets, the right-hander has had a respectable start to the season. He has allowed three runs, all of which came Friday, along with seven hits and four walks while striking out five across 6.2 innings in five outings.

Gives up two runs in spring debut Brubaker didn't factor into the decision during Monday's 6-2 Cactus League win over the Athletics, allowing two earned runs on three hits and two walks across one inning.

Impact Brubaker got the start in his first game action this spring but gave up two singles, two walks and a double in his lone frame. The right-hander re-signed with San Francisco on a one-year, $1.8 million pact after joining the club on a minor-league contract in August following his release from the Yankees. The 32-year-old appeared in five outings (one start) with the Giants in 2025, recording a 4.26 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB across 12.2 innings. Though he has plenty of experience as a starter, Brubaker appears more likely to operate in long relief to begin the season.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

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.
