Starting again Wednesday Brebbia will start Wednesday against the the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Opening again Thursday Brebbia will serve as the opener for Thursday's series finale against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Brebbia filled the opener role in Tuesday's game in Colorado, allowing a hit and striking out two in a scoreless inning. The right-hander has yet to go more than one inning in any of his six previous turns as an opener, so it's likely to again be a bullpen day for the Giants. Jharel Cotton was added to the big-league roster Wednesday but didn't pitch in that night's game, so he could be an option to pick up the bulk of the innings Thursday.

Takes extra-inning loss Brebbia (6-2) allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and two walks over two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.
Impact Brebbia couldn't keep the game tied in the 10th inning, and the Giants weren't able to pull even again in their half of the frame. The loss is Brebbia's first since June 15, an impressive stretch of relative effectiveness, especially since he's made six appearances as an opener this year. The right-hander has made a National League-leading 69 appearances this season, covering 62 innings with a 2.90 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 49:18 K:BB. He's added 18 holds and three blown saves, essentially serving as a setup option when he's not opening games.

Opening Saturday Brebbia will serve as an opener for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Brebbia has tossed four scoreless innings over his last four appearances and will begin Saturday's game on the mound. He hasn't lasted longer than two innings in any of his outings this year, and Sean Hjelle will likely serve as a bulk reliever against the Dodgers.

Earns sixth win Brebbia (6-1) allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the win Tuesday over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Brebbia kept the Giants within a run in the top of the ninth inning, and Brandon Crawford slugged a walkoff two-run home run to earn the right-hander the win. It was a good bounce-back effort for Brebbia, who allowed three runs without recording an out Sunday in a blown save versus the Pirates. He's often been a steady middle reliever this year, pitching to a 2.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 41:15 K:BB through 50.2 innings while adding 12 holds. He's allowed multiple runs in just four of 56 appearances.

Snags win Saturday Brebbia (5-1) walked one and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning to earn the win Saturday over the Brewers.
Impact After Alex Cobb gave up a run on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, Brebbia entered the contest. He walked Jonathan Davis -- who then stole second -- and struck out Christian Yelich before Davis was caught trying to steal third. The Giants went ahead in the bottom of the eighth to put Brebbia in line for the win, which was closed out by Dominic Leone. Through eight innings in July, Brebbia has given up six hits and four walks but only one run. The right-hander has a steady 2.45 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 36:12 K:BB with eight holds through 40.1 innings.

Extends scoreless streak Brebbia allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Brebbia was the opener in another bullpen game, so he was never expected to be in line for the win. He's been good in July so far, pitching 6.1 scoreless innings with a 3:3 K:BB and three hits allowed this month. The right-hander's success as an opener could see him continue to get those opportunities when the Giants' rotation is shorthanded. Overall e's produced a 2.33 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB in 38.2 innings across 41 appearances, three of which have been as an opener. He's added a 4-1 record and eight holds, indicating he's earned some high-leverage chances.

Gets start in bullpen day Brebbia is scheduled to serve as the Giants' opening pitcher in a bullpen game Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Brebbia hasn't covered more than two innings or thrown more than 29 pitches in any of his 40 appearances this season, so he's unlikely to make it even once through the order before being pulled from the contest. The Giants haven't indicated that they'll deploy a primary pitcher behind Brebbia, but Sam Long is the most obvious candidate to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen if needed.
JULY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nabs win Wednesday Brebbia (4-1) earned the win Wednesday, pitching a perfect eighth inning against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Brebbia became the pitcher of record as the Giants pulled ahead in the ninth inning, though Camilo Doval had to settle for a hold while Sam Long finished off the save. Through four innings in July, Brebbia hasn't allowed a run. He has a 2.48 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB across 36.1 innings while adding eight holds in a mid-leverage role. He's also opened two games and could be an option in that capacity again since the Giants' rotation is temporarily short-staffed.
