Jhony Brito - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sharp again Saturday Brito (2-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings in a 4-1 victory over the Orioles. He struck out two.

Impact The rookie right-hander wasn't dominant, generating only six swinging strikes among his 92 pitches, but Brito didn't give up much hard contact and benefitted from some strong defense behind him. Unlike his last start, Brito wasn't immediately sent back to Triple-A after his outing, and it looks as though he'll get a chance to make a case for the Yankees' fifth starter job after posting a 0.90 ERA and 8:3 K:BB through his first 10 major-league innings. If he does remain with the big club, the 25-year-old's next start would likely come at home against the Twins.

Promoted for Saturday's start Brito was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of his start against the Orioles on Saturday.

Impact Brito delivered five scoreless innings during his MLB debut last weekend and will make another turn through the rotation Saturday. The 25-year-old spent most of last season at Triple-A and had a 3.31 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 53:24 K:BB across 70.2 innings. Josh Donaldson (hamstring) and Jonathan Loaisiga (elbow) were placed on the injured list.

Starting against O's on Saturday Brito will start for the Yankees on Saturday against the Orioles, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact The Yankees staff will be pushed back one day with Nestor Cortes starting against the Orioles on Sunday. Brito pitched well in his MLB debut Sunday while giving up two hits over five scoreless frames against the Giants, and he'll get another chance to impress against an Orioles lineup that has performed well thus far. The Yankees will need to make a roster move before Saturday's game.

Impact Brito was sent down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after his MLB debut Sunday, but it had nothing to do with how he pitched. The right-hander gave up just two hits over five scoreless frames while picking up a victory over the Giants, but the Yankees won't need a fifth starter until next week. Assuming Luis Severino (lat) isn't ready to come off the injured list, it would be a surprise if anyone but Brito was starting for New York next Wednesday.

Sent down following solid debut Brito was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Impact Brito made his major-league debut Sunday against the Giants and allowed two hits and a walk while striking out six in five scoreless innings to earn the win. While he'll head to the minors following his impressive showing, the move is likely being made since the Yankees have an off day next week, so the team could choose to utilize a four-man rotation. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see Brito return to the majors around mid-April, especially if Luis Severino (lat) needs more time on the injured list.

Impresses in debut Brito (1-0) allowed two hits and a walk over five shutout frames Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the Giants.

Impact Brito earned a spot in the rotation with a solid spring and a few injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. He backed that up with a scoreless MLB debut that featured 16 whiffs, 11 of which came from the changeup. The 25-year-old never allowed a Giant to reach scoring position. Brito posted a 2.96 ERA in 112.2 innings with Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last season. He's projected to start in Baltimore next week.

Recalled, will start Sunday The Yankees Bryan Hoch of MLB.com Brito from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

Impact The transaction was merely procedural, as Brito had already been confirmed as a member of the Yankees' Opening Day rotation. He's scheduled to make his first MLB start in Sunday's series finale with the Giants at Yankee Stadium, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed as Sunday's starter Brito will start for the Yankees on Sunday against the Giants, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact That had been the expectation after it was announced Brito would take the rotation spot vacated by Luis Severino (lat). Brito posted a 2.96 ERA with a 91:35 K:BB in 112.2 innings with Double-A Somerset and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season. He makes for a risky streaming option in his debut but is someone to keep tabs on.

Could start third game of season Manager Aaron Boone said Brito could start the Yankees' third game of the season next Sunday versus the Giants in New York, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Boone didn't officially confirm that Brito would be part of the Opening Day rotation, but the 25-year-old righty appears to have all but clinched a starting role with all of Frankie Montas (shoulder), Carlos Rodon (forearm) and Luis Severino (lat) set to open the season on the injured list. Brito initially appeared in line to take the hill for the Yankees' fifth game of the season, but the team may be incentivized to move him up in the pitching schedule after he dazzled Sunday in his final Grapefruit League outing of the spring. Brito retired all 16 batters he faced in a 6-2 win over the Blue Jays, striking out three hitters while lowering his spring ERA to 2.08. If Brito ends up getting the starting nod for the Yankees' third game, Domingo German would presumably be pushed to the back of the team's pitching schedule.

Could open as fifth starter Brito may be needed as the Yankees' fifth starter to open the season with Luis Severino dealing with a low-grade lat strain, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Yankees likely didn't enter the spring with Brito in their Opening Day plans, but with Severino, Carlos Rodon (forearm) and Frankie Montas (shoulder) all bound for the injured list, they'll need to turn to their eighth starter right away. The Yankees have yet to lock in Brito as their choice, but he was the only candidate explicitly mentioned by manager Aaron Boone. Brito produced a 2.96 ERA in 26 outings (23 starts) in the upper minors last season, though that came with a modest 20.0 percent strikeout rate. He's given up five runs (three earned) on 12 hits in 7.2 innings this spring, striking out seven while walking none.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Brito was optioned Saturday to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the Yankees and reassigned to minor-league camp.

Impact Brito was protected from the Rule 5 draft in November by being placed on the 40-man roster. The right-hander reached Triple-A last year and posted a 2.96 ERA with a 91:35 K:BB in 112.2 innings with Double-A Somerset and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It's possible that Brito could make starts for the Yankees before the end of 2023.
