Eligibility
John Brebbia delivered a flawless inning of relief in the White Sox's 3-1 victory over the Guardians on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
He threw 14 pitches, allowing no hits, no walks, and no earned runs while striking out one batter. This performance should offer some reassurance to fantasy managers given Brebbia's somewhat inflated 4.38 ERA and 4.80 FIP this season. His excellent WHIP of 1.05 and high strikeout rate (11.7 K/9) continue to make him a valuable asset in leagues that reward strikeouts and WHIP. However, his role primarily in middle relief limits his opportunities for wins or saves, slightly capping his fantasy value.
John Brebbia is scheduled to throw live batting practice on Wednesday and Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Brebbia is continuing to work his way back from a calf strain suffered in February. He remains on track to be fully healthy by the start of the season.
John Brebbia threw a bullpen session on Thursday.

John Brebbia is expected to be sidelined the next few weeks due to a strained calf.
Fantasy Impact
Brebbia said he strained his calf walking back to the mound after moving toward first on a grounder during live BP the other day. He was able to finish the live BP session and said his pitching is unaffected. His status for Opening Day is up in the air as a result.
White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said John Brebbia has right calf strain.
Fantasy Impact
Grifol added they are hopeful Brebbia will be ready for Opening Day. His status will be worth monitoring as he is one of the candidates to close games for the White Sox this season.
