"The Braves announced Friday that they've selected the contract of right-hander John Brebbia from Triple-A Gwinnett. Atlanta also recalled righty Nathan Wiles from Gwinnett, while lefty and righty Wander Suero were optioned to Triple-A. The Braves already had a pair of 40-man vacancies, so they won't need a corresponding 40-man move to accommodate Brebbia's addition. The pair of promotions will provide manager Brian Snitker with some fresh arms after yesterday's blowout loss to the division-rival Phillies."
"Brebbia, 35, opened the 2025 season with the Tigers but struggled in 18 2/3 innings before being released. The veteran righty was tagged for 16 earned runs (7.71 ERA) on 22 hits and 11 walks with 20 strikeouts during his brief run with Detroit. He also plunked three batters and was charged with two wild pitches. Three of those 22 hits were home runs."
"Though last year's second half and the 2025 season haven't been pretty, Brebbia had a nice track record up until that point. The right-hander was a generally reliable bullpen option with the Cardinals and Giants from 2017-23. He carried a career 3.53 ERA, 26% strikeout rate and 7% walk rate (336 2/3 innings) into last year's All-Star break. Things have obviously gone south since that time, but it's a solid track record on the whole."
The Braves selected the contract of right-hander John Brebbia from Triple-A Gwinnett and recalled righty Nathan Wiles, while Wander Suero was optioned to Triple-A. The club had two open 40-man spots, so no corresponding roster move was required. The moves aim to replenish the bullpen after a 19-4 loss to the Phillies in which multiple relievers logged heavy pitch counts and would be unavailable. Brebbia opened 2025 with Detroit and surrendered 16 earned runs in 18 2/3 innings (7.71 ERA) before his release. Brebbia posted strong results from 2017–23 but has struggled since mid-2024.
