The Detroit Tigers announced that right-hander John Brebbia has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right triceps strain. Left-hander Bailey Horn has been called up from Triple-A to fill Brebbia's roster spot. Despite a strong start this season with a 1.00 ERA, Brebbia's underlying statistics indicated potential issues. His high walk rate and low batting average on balls in play suggested he was benefiting from good fortune. This injury comes shortly after he pitched in a win, pointing to a rapid decline in his physical condition.
Brebbia's early success masked by high walk rate and low BABIP could indicate potential struggles were on the horizon, culminating in his recent injury.
After a solid start with Detroit, Brebbia's luck seemingly ran out as he faced a new injury that has sidelined him for 15 days.
