2025 Fantasy Outlook
Brubaker held some end-of-roster appeal in deep fantasy leagues in 2022 when he fanned 147 batters over 144 innings with Pittsburgh, but he hasn't pitched in the majors since. The right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery in April of 2023, and after being traded to the Yankees while still rehabbing last March, he had his recovery halted due to an oblique injury. Brubaker did get into eight minor-league contests, and he posted a fine 2.70 ERA and 0.96 WHIP but definitely showed some rust with a 9:8 K:BB over 16.2 frames. Despite the recent injuries, the Yankees re-signed Brubaker to a one-year deal, and his chance of breaking camp with the club is boosted by his lack of minor-league options. His most likely role is as a middle- or long-relief option capable of stepping in for the occasional spot start, which isn't a recipe for fantasy relevance. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Rest of Season

Goes four frames in spot start
Brubaker tossed four innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four batters.
Analysis
Brubaker was given a turn in the rotation after the Giants decided to shut down Robbie Ray for the remainder of the campaign. Brubaker fared okay in the outing, giving up a pair of third-inning runs but getting through four frames on 68 pitches and notching four punchouts. This was the right-hander's first start of the season, though he'd thrown at least two innings in each of his previous five appearances coming into Wednesday. If Brubaker doesn't enter in any of the Giants' final three games -- a distinct possibility given his pitch count Wednesday -- he'll finish the campaign with a 3.77 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB over 28.2 innings during his time with the Giants.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
If nothing else, Brubaker was expected to eat a significant number of innings for the Pirates in 2023. There was also some reason to be optimistic that his surface stats would improve after he showed growth in limiting the long ball, but all hopes were dashed after he dealt with forearm and elbow issues late in spring training. Shortly thereafter, it was announced that he would need Tommy John surgery. That not only ended his 2023 campaign, but it also leaves his status for 2024 unclear. According to most recent reports, he is throwing from flat ground up to 120 feet with the goal of making his season debut shortly after the All-Star break. As a result, he's safe to avoid in nearly all fantasy formats, with the best-case scenario being he becomes a streaming option upon his return.
