Overview

  • Brebbia elected free agency after clearing waivers and rejecting an outright assignment from the Braves.
  • Atlanta had designated him for assignment after just three appearances during an early-September roster shuffle.
  • The 35-year-old is expected to report to Triple-A Worcester, with any potential MLB call-up limited to the regular season.
  • He has a 7.71 ERA over 23 1/3 big-league innings this year but logged a 1.89 ERA in 19 Triple-A frames with Gwinnett.
  • Because Detroit released him in June, the Tigers remain responsible for most of his 2025 salary under veteran service-time rules.
