    John Brebbia has elected free agency.

    The 36-year-old righty was designated for assignment by the Rockies earlier in the week and opted to explore the open market rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Albuquerque. Brebbia has posted a 10.38 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 4 1/3 innings in three appearances with the Rockies this season.

  • COL Relief Pitcher #60
    Brebbia elected free agency last weekend rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Albuquerque, but after exploring his options on the open market, the veteran right-hander decided that his best opportunity was to remain with the Rockies. The 36-year-old has compiled a 10.38 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 4 1/3 frames in his three outings with the big league club this season.
  • COL Relief Pitcher #60
    It seems highly unlikely Brebbia will attract any interest on waivers after allowing five runs over 4 1/3 innings for the Rockies after being brought up back on June 22. The 36-year-old veteran will presumably elect free agency instead of accepting an outright assignment.
  • COL Relief Pitcher #60
    Brebbia joins Colorado’s relief mix after spending a couple weeks in the minors where he reeled off nine scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts and zero walks for Triple-A Albuquerque. The 36-year-old journeyman reliever has made 376 career appearances between five different organizations since 2017.
  • COL Relief Pitcher #60
    The 35-year-old right-hander was granted his release by the Twins last week after posting a 6.20 ERA over 20 1/3 innings at Triple-A St. Paul. He has a history of being a quality bullpen arm, which should be enough to earn him a shot with the Rockies at some point this summer, but his days of fantasy relevancy are long gone.
  • FA Relief Pitcher #60
    Brebbia had an opt-out clause that he activated after not being added to the 40-man roster. The 35-year-old has a 6.20 ERA in 20 1/2 innings at Triple-A this season.
  • MIN Relief Pitcher #60
    There are few teams with a clearer path to relief innings than the rebuilding Twins. Brebbia heads to Triple-A St. Paul as emergency middle relief depth after failing to crack Colorado’s season-opening bullpen earlier this spring. The 35-year-old veteran posted an inflated 7.71 ERA across 22 appearances between the Tigers and Braves last year but has made 376 relief appearances in the big leagues since 2017.
  • COL Relief Pitcher #83
    Bellozo and Brebbia were in Rockies camp this spring as non-roster invitees attempting to make the club’s season-opening relief mix. Bellozo will presumably head to Triple-A Albuquerque to open the year while Brebbia has been cut loose to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

    Brebbia bolsters Colorado’s bullpen depth heading into next spring after making 22 relief appearances between the Tigers and Braves last season, finishing with a bloated 7.71 ERA across 23 1/3 innings of work.

  • BOS Relief Pitcher #60
    Brebbia won’t be eligible for the postseason, if the Red Sox qualify, but he provides them with some experienced relief depth for the home stretch. The 35-year-old veteran has been hit hard with a bloated 7.71 ERA across 23 1/3 innings of work this season between the Tigers and Braves. He’s made 376 relief appearances in the big leagues dating back to 2017.

    Kyle Teel (ankle) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Teel has been shelved since the end of July due to a high ankle sprain. He should only need a couple of games there to get his timing back and could be an option to rejoin the White Sox at some point next weekend barring any setbacks.

    Evan Carter is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s divisional showdown against the Angels.

    Carter started against each of the other three left-handers that the Rangers faced this week, but he’ll get a breather in this one with Yusei Kikuchi taking the ball for the Halos. Ezequiel Duran will cover center field in his absence while Justin Foscue starts at second base and bats leadoff for the Rangers.

    Diamondbacks activated RHP Drey Jameson from the 15-day injured list.

    Jameson had been shelved since mid-July due to inflammation in his right hip. He’ll rejoin the Diamondbacks’ bullpen for Sunday’s series finale against the Reds. Zack Littell was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

    Diamondbacks designated RHP Zack Littell for assignment.

    With Drey Jameson returning from the injured list on Sunday, the Diamondbacks needed to free up a spot on their active roster and Littell drew the short straw. The 30-year-old hurler posted a 7.50 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and a 3/4 K/BB ratio over 12 innings in three appearances with the Diamondbacks.

    Félix Bautista (shoulder) struggled in his first minor league rehab appearance at Double-A Chesapeake on Sunday, recording only one out.

    The 31-year-old hurler faced five batters in the ballgame — allowing a hit and three walks in the process. He threw just 10 of his 22 pitches for strikes while maxing out at 97-mph on the radar gun. It’s going to take some time to shake off the rust following Tommy John surgery, so expect inconsistency upon his return.

    Rangers recalled C Logan O’Hoppe from Triple-A Round Rock.

    The 26-year-old backstop will get his first chance to show the Rangers what he can do after being picked up in a deadline deal from the Angels. O’Hoppe has hit just .209/.271/.295 with four homers and 23 RBI in 256 plate appearances at the MLB level this season.

    Rangers designated OF Jarred Kelenic for assignment.

    This is the third time that the Rangers have DFA’d the former top prospect. Each previous time he has returned on a minor league contract and eventually earned another chance with the Rangers. It’s possible that happens again this time around, though his days of fantasy relevancy are in the rearview mirror.

    Trevor Larnach is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Sunday’s battle against the Padres.

    It’s a rare off day for Larnach with an opposing right-hander on the mound. Alen Roden will start in his place in left field and will bat seventh for the Twins against Padres’ veteran Walker Buehler.

    Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Sunday that he expects Ryan Weathers to return in some capacity before the 2026 season is through.

    That suggests that the Yankees could envision him returning in a bullpen role. He’ll be shut down from throwing for the next two-to-four weeks before starting to ramp back up after landing on the injured list with a left forearm flexor strain on Sunday.

    Ezequiel Tovar (illness) returned to the Rockies’ starting lineup on Sunday.

    Tovar was removed from Friday night’s contest due to illness and then sat out on Saturday as he was still feeling under the weather. While his health has improved, his offensive game hasn’t, as he’s slashing a cringe-inducing .204/.251/.326 with just nine homers and 38 RBI on the season.
