Brito had something of a lost season in 2025, but he's still on the 40-man roster and is entering his final minor-league option year. The 24-year-old switch-hitting second baseman had thumb surgery in April, suffered a hamstring strain in July and eventually needed hamstring surgery in September. All told, he played 24 games at Triple-A last year, slashing .256/.357/.463 with three home runs and four steals, good for a 115 wRC+. Travis Bazzana hasn't ascended to the majors yet, but he figures to take over at the keystone sometime this summer, so Brito is running out of time to stake a claim to more than a utility role.
