SF Giants lose key bullpen piece as starting rotation gets healthier

RHP John Brebbia (lat strain) was placed on the 15-day IL, clearing space for LHP Alex Wood, who was activated and started vs. LAD.

Brebbia, who started Friday’s bullpen game in his eighth appearance as an opener this season, will be eligible to return July 2.
