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.

Giants' John Brebbia: Snags second win
Brebbia (2-0) allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the win Wednesday over the Phillies.
Brebbia pitched the top of the eighth inning, and the Giants rallied ahead in their half of the frame. The right-hander has allowed a run on four hits and three walks with nine strikeouts through five innings in May. He has a 4.67 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, five holds and 27:7 K:BB through 17.1 innings over 19 appearances, including two turns as an opener, this season.

Giants' John Brebbia: Opens up game
Brebbia did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing one hit and one walk over a scoreless inning against the Diamondbacks. He struck out two.
Brebbia was San Fransisco's opener for the second time this season. The right-hander has a generous 5.52 ERA over just 14.2 innings this season, but he now also has 11 scoreless outings. The 32-year-old has had a couple of bad outings that have marred his overall stats, but he still has value to the Giants in a pinch.

Giants' John Brebbia: Opening Friday
Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Brebbia has served as an opener once previously this season, and he worked 1.1 innings in that appearance. Alex Wood (hamstring) or Ross Stripling are the likely options to follow Brebbia in a bulk role.

Giants' John Brebbia: Records four outs as opener
Brebbia put together a scoreless outing as the opener against the Cardinals on Tuesday, allowing one hit while striking out two over 1.1 innings.
Brebbia sent down the first four batters he faced before allowing a single to Willson Contreras which led to him getting pulled after 24 pitches. The 32-year-old has put together three consecutive scoreless outings and has struck out six over his last 3.2 innings. For the year, Brebbia owns a 4.82 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB over 9.1 innings.

Giants' John Brebbia: Slated to open Tuesday's game
Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Brebbia has worked exclusively in relief this season, but he previously opened 11 games for the Giants in 2022. Manager Gabe Kapler is unlikely to have Brebbia work more than one or two innings before turning the game over to the bullpen. Though lefty Sean Manaea had been on turn to start Tuesday, the Giants seem inclined to push him to the back of their pitching schedule due to the Cardinals' right-handed-heavy lineup, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. With that in mind, Emerman suspects that right-hander Jakob Junis will serve in a bulk-relief role once Brebbia exits the contest.

Giants' John Brebbia: Gets win Sunday
Brebbia (1-0) struck out the only batter he faced to earn the win Sunday versus the Royals.
Brebbia got the last out in the top of the eighth inning, and the Giants rallied ahead in the home half of the frame. Through 3.2 innings on the year, Brebbia has allowed three hits and one run, which came March 30 in his season debut. He's recorded six strikeouts and no walks with one hold. The right-hander isn't in contention for save chances with Camilo Doval, Taylor Rogers and Tyler Rogers around, but Brebbia could have some appeal if he can pick up holds in a fireman role.

Giants' John Brebbia: Dealing with clock adjustments
Brebbia allowed two runs on two hits and a walk with one strikeout in one inning versus Arizona on Wednesday.
Per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Brebbia was having trouble with his timing while focusing on the pitch clock, and pitching coach Andrew Bailey suggested Brebbia simply step off the rubber despite the rules limiting pitchers to two disengagements per batter. The right-hander doesn't appear to have an issue with his pace, but adjusting to the new rules is something he'll have to work out in the spring. He was a versatile option for the Giants last season, making 11 of his 76 appearances as an opener while logging a 3.18 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 54:18 K:BB over 68 innings. He went 6-2 and added 18 holds and four blown saves, so he should be a lock to be in the setup mix ahead of closer Camilo Doval.

Giants' John Brebbia: Reaches deal to avoid arbitration
Brebbia settled on a one-year, $2.3 million contract with the Giants on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
The reliever compiled a serviceable 3.18 ERA and 1.31 WHIP while striking out 54 batters and earning 18 holds over 68 innings in 76 appearances while also being used as an opener 11 times. Brebbia will likely operate in a versatile role once again this season, operating ahead of closer Camilo Doval.

Giants' John Brebbia: Serving as opener to close out 2022
Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game in San Diego, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Brebbia will be making his National League-leading 76th appearance of the season in the finale, including his 11th turn as an opener. Considering Brebbia hasn't recorded more than six outs in any of his appearances this season, he'll likely work only an inning or two before giving way to the bullpen. The Giants don't have an obvious candidate to serve as a bulk reliever behind Brebbia, so expect manager Gabe Kapler to treat the season finale as a bullpen day.

Giants' John Brebbia: Opening Monday's contest
Brebbia will serve as the opener for Monday's game versus the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Brebbia will make his 10th appearance as a starter this season. His last outing came out of the bullpen, and he failed to record an out while giving up two runs on three hits versus the Rockies on Thursday. Brebbia is unlikely to cover more than an inning Monday and will likely give way to a bulk reliever, with Sean Hjelle the most logical choice to follow him.

Giants' John Brebbia: Starting again Wednesday
Brebbia will start Wednesday against the the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Brebbia will serve as an opener Wednesday for the ninth time this season. He's fired eight scoreless frames with five strikeouts and a walk through his first eight starts, and he's likely to cover just an inning or two versus Colorado.

Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
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.

Giants' John Brebbia: Starting bullpen game
Brebbia will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Brebbia is set to handle the first inning or two before handing the ball to the primary pitcher, who has yet to be named. He owns a 4.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP with a 6:3 K:BB over his last 10 appearances (nine innings).

Giants' John Brebbia: 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.
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.

Giants' John Brebbia: Opening Saturday
Brebbia will serve as an opener for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
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.

Giants' John Brebbia: Opening bullpen game
Brebbia will be the first pitcher on the mound in a bullpen game Sunday against the Cubs, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The Giants continue to turn to bullpen games rather than use another starter in place of Alex Wood (shoulder). Sunday's game will technically be Brebbia's fifth start of the season, but don't expect him to pitch deep into the game. He pitched exactly one inning in each of his previous four "starts" this season.

Giants' John Brebbia: Set to start Tuesday
Brebbia will work as an opener in Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Brebbia gave up three earned runs his last time out, but that did not stop manager Gabe Kapler from naming him the starter for Tuesday's contest. Brebbia has recorded more than three outs just five times in his league-leading 63 appearances, so don't expect him to be out there too long Tuesday night.
