Triple-A El Paso placed Brito on its 7-day injured list Aug. 23 with an unspecified injury.

The Padres optioned Brito to Triple-A on Aug. 11, with the right-hander making one appearance for El Paso before going down with an injury. The severity of the injury isn't known, making it unclear whether Brito has a chance to pitch again before the 2024 season concludes.
