2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brebbia has worked as middle reliever, opener and setup man throughout his career, but 2024 may open up the possibility for save opportunities after the 33-year-old signed a one-year deal with the White Sox. The right-hander is coming off a solid campaign during which he posted a career-best 29.2 strikeout rate, but he was limited to 38.1 innings due to a lat injury. Unfortunately, a calf strain has slowed Brebbia in White Sox camp and there's a chance he opens 2024 on the injured list. A clearer timeline should emerge as camp progresses, but whenever Brebbia is cleared he should be in the mix to close games for Chicago. With the team moving on from Liam Hendrkis (free agency), Gregory Santos (trade) and Aaron Bummer (trade), Brebbia stands as one of the most experienced relievers in this clubhouse.

Optioned to Triple-A
Atlanta optioned Brebbia to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
After signing with Atlanta on Sept. 1, Brebbia surrendered two earned runs across 6.2 innings over five appearances -- a strong turnaround from the 6.29 ERA he held while with the White Sox. Despite his improvement, he'll be sent back to the minors in order to make room for Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder), who was activated off the injured list to start Saturday against Kansas City.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
The 2020 data points with Brebbia are nil as he was forced to undergo Tommy John surgery in early June. The Cardinals decided they did not want to wait it out and non-tendered the right-hander in December. San Francisco signed Brebbia to a major-league contract a couple weeks later and the team looks content to mostly just monitor his progress throughout 2021. A best-case scenario would a late-season return, but realistically, the Giants are not expecting any real contributions from Brebbia this coming season. Brebbia was a workhorse from 2017-19 and an effective mid-to-late-inning arm for the Cardinals, posting a 3.14 ERA and 19.9 K-BB% over his first three MLB seasons (175 innings). If he's even close to that level post-surgery, Brebbia will find steady work in a big-league bullpen.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Had interest from multiple teams
Multiple teams showed interest in signing Brebbia before he agreed to a contract with Atlanta on Saturday, reports Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
ANALYSIS
The 34-year-old right-hander was designated for assignment and released by the White Sox in late August after he posted a 6.29 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 58:17 K:BB through 54 appearances, but his track record still carried value on the open market. Players have to be in an organization by Sept. 1 in order to be playoff eligible, so contending teams likely viewed his availability as a final opportunity to add outside talent for the stretch run. Brebbia posted a 3.47 ERA in 116 appearances the previous two seasons, so he's not far removed from being an effective bullpen piece.
