Brebbia (lat) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brebbia has missed nearly two months with a Grade 2 right lat strain but is finally ready to test things out on the bump. He's eligible for activation next week but could require a few rehab appearances first.

The Giants transferred Brebbia (lat) to the 60-day injured list Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brebbia has been on the injured list since June 17 with a Grade 2 lat strain, and he'll now be held out until at least Aug. 16. The 33-year-old righty began throwing off a mound last weekend, so a return to the bullpen in mid-August seems possible.

Brebbia (lat) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this weekend, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

It will be the first mound workout for Brebbia since he landed on the injured list June 17 due to a Grade 2 lat strain. If all goes well with his throwing program, the 33-year-old right-hander should be an option again for the Giants in the early part of August, or maybe even before the end of July.

Brebbia was placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 16, by the Giants on Saturday with a Grade 2 lat strain, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brebbia has been one of the better relievers and openers for the Giants, as he has a 3.14 ERA and has been the starter in eight contests for the Giants. He'll miss at least two weeks while recovering, and Alex Wood was activated off the 15-day IL in the corresponding transaction to start against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher Friday versus the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brebbia is basically now part of the Giants' rotation -- his last three appearances have been starts -- but he'll likely again pitch only an inning or two before giving way to a parade of other relievers. The 33-year-old righty carries a strong 3.25 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB in 27.2 innings (28 appearances) for the season.

Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher in Sunday's game against the Cubs, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While opening Saturday's 4-0 loss, Brebbia tossed 19 pitches and worked two scoreless frames. He'll get another "start" Sunday, but he's unlikely to cover more than one or two innings before turning the game over to the bullpen. Tristan Beck is expected to work as the bulk hurler after Brebbia leaves the game, though Beck may not have an extended leash after covering 2.1 innings out of the bullpen Friday.

Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brebbia will be working as an opener for the sixth time this season, but he shouldn't be expected to cover more than an inning or two before giving way to the bullpen. The Giants haven't formally appointed a pitcher to work in bulk relief behind Brebbia, but Jakob Junis -- who hasn't appeared in a game since last Sunday -- looks like the most logical option to eat innings out of the bullpen.

Brebbia will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game in Colorado, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants haven't designated a bulk reliever to work behind Brebbia, but Sean Manaea -- who hasn't pitched since last Tuesday -- seems like the most logical option to fill most of the innings out of the bullpen. Brebbia previously served as an opener in front of Manaea for that same game last Tuesday versus the Pirates, giving up a solo home run and retiring two batters before turning the game over to the Giants' relief corps.

Brebbia will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brebbia is no stranger to the opener role, as he opened one week ago May 22 against the Twins and delivered a scoreless inning (two strikeouts). The Giants have yet to name a primary pitcher, but Sean Manaea could be an option to eat up innings after working only 1.1 frames over the last week.

Brebbia is scheduled to serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Monday's game at Minnesota, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Gabe Kapler hasn't formally named a bulk reliever to work behind Brebbia, but based on recent usage, Sean Manaea and Tristan Beck appear to be the most logical options to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen, if needed. Brebbia hasn't recorded more than five outs in any of his 21 appearances on the season and likely won't be tasked with working more than once through the batting order, if that.
