US EditionTigers cut struggling veteran reliever; rookie called up from Toledo
- The Detroit Tigers designated right-hander John Brebbia for assignment after Saturday's 11-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds and recalled rookie Tyler Owens from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
- Brebbia endured a difficult 2025 season, registering a high earned run average and walk rate over just under 19 innings pitched, all while managing a right triceps injury sustained toward the end of April.
- Prior to his recent struggles, Brebbia had pitched nine innings with an ERA of 1.00 and recorded nine strikeouts, but he then gave up six runs in just over an inning during two appearances against the Reds, indicating a downturn in his performance.
- Brebbia appeared in 19 games with a-0.6 WAR, and Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said, "He is a better pitcher than he showed" but must be more consistent in the strike zone.
- Owens, 24, who made his MLB debut in May and has spent most of 2025 in Toledo, took Brebbia's place as the Tigers shift toward evaluating younger pitching talent for the bullpen.
