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.

ADP
Activated from IL
The White Sox activated Brebbia (calf) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Brebbia wound up missing just over the minimum 15 days with a right calf strain. He should be used in high-leverage spots out of the White Sox bullpen but is probably well behind Michael Kopech in the pecking order for saves.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to close?
Brebbia is the apparent favorite to close for the White Sox after Gregory Santos was traded to the Mariners on Saturday, pre Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com.
ANALYSIS
Santos was poised to begin 2024 as Chicago's clear closer, but the trade opens up the ninth-inning role for the South Siders. Brebbia has just two saves in his big-league career but has a 3.47 ERA and 101:32 K:BB over 106.1 innings with 24 holds over the past two seasons. Even if he doesn't close, the right-hander will likely start out in a high-leverage role in an unproven bullpen.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

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.
