Braves' John Brebbia: Optioned to Triple-A
Atlanta optioned John Brebbia to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.After signing with Atlanta on Sept. 1, Brebbia surrendered two earned runs across 6.2 innings over five appearances -- a strong turnaround from the 6.29 ERA he held while with the White Sox. Despite his improvement, he'll be sent back to the minors in order to make room for Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder), who was activated off the injured list to start Saturday against Kansas City.

Braves' John Brebbia: Finds work in Atlanta
Atlanta signed John Brebbia to a one-year contract and added him to the active roster Sunday.Brebbia posted a 6.29 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 58:17 K:BB while gathering 13 holds and two saves in 48.2 innings over his 54 appearances for the White Sox this season before being released by the club Thursday. Though he quickly found a home in Atlanta, he'll go from being one of the White Sox's top high-leverage arms to likely working in the middle innings with his new team. Even with A.J. Minter (hip) lost for the season, Atlanta still has several capable arms ahead of Brebbia in the pecking order to serve as setup options in front of closer Raisel Iglesias.

John Brebbia: Released by White Sox
The White Sox released John Brebbia on Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.Brebbia cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and is now out of the organization altogether. The 34-year-old has a bloated 6.29 ERA on the season but also a 58:17 K:BB over 48.2 innings, and he was the perceived favorite to be Chicago's closer not long ago. He should draw some interest on the open market.

White Sox's John Brebbia: Designated for assignment
The Chicago White Sox designated John Brebbia for assignment Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.The veteran right-hander filled a high-leverage role for Chicago this season and recorded two saves and 13 holds, but he hadn't been particularly effective with a 6.29 ERA in 54 outings. Brebbia posted a sub-4.00 ERA in five of his six MLB campaigns entering the season, so he could receive some interest from other teams.

White Sox's John Brebbia: Another tough outing
John Brebbia (0-6) allowed three earned runs on one hit and one walk while recording one out to take the loss Monday against the Royals.Brebbia is the presumed closer in Chicago after Michael Kopech was dealt to the Dodgers on Monday. However, things didn't go as planned when he entered the game with a runner on first and a one-run lead, as he allowed the first two batters he faced to reach base -- one was hit by a pitch -- before serving up a game-winning grand slam to Bobby Witt. Brebbia has now allowed eight earned runs across his last five appearances -- spanning four innings -- so even if he does pick up rare save chances, he's likely to provide very poor ratios.

White Sox's John Brebbia: Blows save versus Rangers
John Brebbia blew the save in Monday's 4-3 loss at Texas. He allowed one run on two hits and one walk with one strikeout in one inning.After Michael Kopech took over in the seventh inning and worked 1.2 frames, Brebbia was called upon to close out a one-run lead in the ninth. After inducing a Josh Smith flyout, the 34-year-old yielded a double to Wyatt Langford before Jonah Heim singled home Langford to tie the game and force extras. Brebbia has hit a rough patch lately, as he's yielded runs in three consecutive outings, allowing five earned across 2.2 innings. However, if Kopech is dealt at the July 30 trade deadline and Brebbia stays in Chicago, he could see more save chances down the stretch.

White Sox's John Brebbia: Implodes to take loss
John Brebbia (0-5) allowed three earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out two to take the loss Sunday against the Royals.Brebbia began the season in poor form but entered Sunday's game having maintained a 1.40 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with a 28:4 K:BB across his past 19.1 innings. He has been one of the Chicago White Sox's top setup men in that span and has racked up eight holds. Michael Kopech appears to have a grip on the closer role for the team, but setting aside Sunday's tough outing, Brebbia has proven to be a reliable high-leverage option.

White Sox's John Brebbia: Secures second save
John Brebbia picked up the save in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over the Astros, retiring the only batter he faced in the ninth inning.After rookie Jonathan Cannon turned in 8.2 scoreless innings, Brebbia entered with two men on via a pair of two-out singles. The veteran reliever induced a Victor Caratini groundout to lock down Chicago's 20th win on the season. Michael Kopech has struggled mightily of late -- sporting a 11.37 ERA over 6.1 innings with three blown saves in his last eight appearances -- opening a path for Brebbia to claim the Chicago White Sox closer role. The 34-year-old appears ready for more save opportunities, as he owns a 1.17 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 14:1 K:BB across 7.1 innings in June.

White Sox's John Brebbia: Secures first save
John Brebbia earned a save against the Guardians on Saturday by retiring all three batters he faced, including one by strikeout, in the ninth inning.Michael Kopech has emerged as Chicago's primary closer early in the campaign, but manager Pedro Grifol opted to go to Brebbia in the ninth Saturday with the team holding a two-run lead. The right-hander got the job done, setting down the side in order on 14 pitches for his first major-league save since 2018. It's unclear why Kopech wasn't used despite getting Friday off -- it's worth noting that he notched back-to-back saves Wednesday and Thursday -- but if he has to miss time for any reason, Brebbia would be among a group of Chicago White Sox relievers who could snap up any save opportunities that arise.

White Sox's John Brebbia: Activated from IL
The Chicago White Sox activated John Brebbia (calf) from the 15-day injured list Monday.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.
