"Brubaker, 31, has pitched in four major-league seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Yankees, owning a career 4.91 ERA and 4.40 FIP over 331 2/3 career innings. Brubaker, who made his debut in 2020, missed all of '23 after undergoing Tommy John surgery, then spent all of '24 in the minors with the Yankees. The right-hander was a starter during his three seasons with the Pirates but was used exclusively as a reliever with the Yankees this season,"
"For McCray, this marks his second stint with the Giants this season. The 24-year-old spent most of August with San Francisco but posted a slash line of .100/.100/.200 over 10 games while striking out in 10 of his 21 plate appearances. The Giants could've used the additional roster spot to get a look at outfielder Marco Luciano, but Luciano will remain with Sacramento for the time being."
Giants selected right-hander JT Brubaker and recalled outfielder Grant McCray as rosters expanded from 26 to 28. All-Star reliever Randy Rodriguez was placed on the 60-day injured list after electing to undergo Tommy John surgery. Brubaker has a career 4.91 ERA and 4.40 FIP across 331 2/3 innings, missed all of 2023 after Tommy John surgery, and spent 2024 in the Yankees' minors before working as a reliever with New York this season. Injuries to Landen Roupp and Carson Whisenhunt and uneven outings from Kai-Wei Teng create a potential opening for Brubaker to start. Marco Luciano remains in Triple-A despite strong recent production, while McCray returns after a brief major-league stint.
