Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
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.

Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
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.

Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
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.

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

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

Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
He kept the Giants within a run in the top of the eighth inning, and they took the lead 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 allowed a solo home run Wednesday versus the Cubs in his first game back. He has 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' John Brebbia: Activated from 60-day IL
San Francisco activated Brebbia (lat) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
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.

Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
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.

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

Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
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.

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

Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
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 Aug. 16. The 33-year-old righty began throwing off a mound last weekend, so a return to the bullpen in mid-August seems possible.

Giants' John Brebbia: Ready for mound work
Brebbia (lat) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this weekend, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
It will be the first mound work 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.

Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
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 to start against the Dodgers on Saturday in a corresponding move.

Giants' John Brebbia: Working as opener again Friday
Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher Friday versus the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
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.

Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
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 an option to eat innings out of the bullpen.

Giants' John Brebbia: Opening again Sunday
Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher in Sunday's game against the Cubs, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
While opening Saturday's 4-0 loss, Brebbia tossed 19 pitches and worked two scoreless frames. He'll get another "start" Sunday, but he's unlikely to cover more than one or two innings before turning the game over to the bullpen. Tristan Beck is expected to work as the bulk hurler after Brebbia leaves the game, though Beck may not have an extended leash after covering 2.1 innings out of the bullpen Friday.

Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
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.

Giants' John Brebbia: Will open Tuesday
Brebbia will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Brebbia is no stranger to the opener role, as he opened one week ago May 22 against the Twins and delivered a scoreless inning (two strikeouts). The Giants have yet to name a primary pitcher, but Sean Manaea could be an option to eat up innings after working only 1.1 frames over the last week.

Giants' John Brebbia: Opening Monday's contest
Brebbia is scheduled to serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Monday's game at Minnesota, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Manager Gabe Kapler hasn't formally named a bulk reliever to work behind Brebbia, but based on recent usage, Sean Manaea and Tristan Beck appear to be the most logical options to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen, if needed. Brebbia hasn't recorded more than five outs in any of his 21 appearances on the season and likely won't be tasked with working more than once through the batting order, if that.
