John Brebbia News
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher John Brebbia (calf) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday. The right-hander appears to be back on track after suffering a calf injury during a game two weeks ago. It's uncertain how many outings Brebbia will need before rejoining the big league bullpen. The assumption is that Brebbia should be back before or in early May. However, Brebbia is likely going to take a backseat to Michael Kopech who appears to be the primary closer in Chicago. Brebbia should still be used in high leverage spots, but probably won't offer the same fantasy value.
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher John Brebbia (calf), who exited last Friday's loss to the division-rival Kansas City Royals after he suffered a strained right calf, is not anticipating a long-term absence. Brebbia said on Tuesday that he was planning on throwing a bullpen later that day. "I'm throwing today, and throwing hasn't been impeded whatsoever. I feel days away from being able to pitch in a game, at worst," Brebbia said. The 33-year-old right-hander also dealt with a strained right calf that held him to two innings of spring ball. Brebbia has thrown 2 2/3 scoreless innings so far during his first season on the South Side and will be an option to close games upon his return, which could arrive when he's first eligible to be activated from the 15-day injured list on April 22. Former starter Michael Kopech is the favorite for saves for the ChiSox at the moment.
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher John Brebbia (calf) was placed on the 15-day injured list ahead of the team's matchup against the Cleveland Guardians on Monday. Brebbia last appeared in a game on Friday against the Kansas City Royals, when he left the contest after just seven pitches. The 33-year-old dealt with a similar calf issue during spring training, so it appears the right-hander might have re-aggravated it. He was off to a great start in 2024 with 2.2 scoreless innings thrown, but now he'll head to the IL. The move is retroactive to April 6, so the earliest he can return is next weekend. In his place, the White Sox called up Jared Shuster from Triple-A Charlotte.

Veteran righty reliever John Brebbia (calf) signed a one-year deal with the Chicago White Sox. Nobody, including Brebbia, expected that he would be in the conversation to close games for the South Siders. He has two career saves but served a variety of bullpen roles for the San Francisco Giants. Brebbia had three wins, a 3.99 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. The 33-year-old also had seven holds in 2023. He features a slider and a four-seam fastball, which were good for a 29.2 K%. The White Sox do not have a clear option here, with potential closer Garrett Crochet being stretched out for the rotation. Brebbia is currently working through a calf strain and is uncertain for Opening Day but is mentioned as the top candidate in a piecemeal bullpen. The ATC projections show 16 saves for him, and his 475 NFBC ADP makes him essentially free in most leagues. If desperate for saves at the end of the draft, consider Brebbia.
