10 months agoTampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks (thumb) is in the outfield doing long toss and playing catch under the watchful eye of head athletic trainer Joe Benge before Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Fairbanks is testing his right thumb that was bruised in Tuesday night's contest when he was hit by a comebacker. The 30-year-old veteran right-handed reliever may not be available in a late-inning, high-leverage spot against the Twins on Wednesday, but the good news is that X-rays came back negative on his thumb and he's considered day-to-day. It's been an injury-plagued year so far for Fairbanks, who hasn't been quite as good so far as he was in 2023 with a 3.42 ERA, a 1.35 WHIP, 10 saves and a 26:12 K:BB in his 23 2/3 innings. If Fairbanks isn't available on Wednesday, Jason Adam is the most likely candidate to see a save chance if it arises in Minnesota. UPDATE: Fairbanks said after testing his bruised right thumb playing catch that "everything felt within the realm of good" and he expects to be available to pitch Thursday.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

7 months agoTampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (lat) resumed throwing on Saturday. Manager Kevin Cash provided an update Friday saying the pitcher was "asymptomatic" from his strain, clearing the path for the 30-year-old to resume throwing. Fairbanks was initially expected to be shut down from throwing for 2-4 weeks so the step towards resuming throwing activities on Saturday puts him on the fast end of the recovery process. Right now there is no announced timetable for Fairbanks' return to the Rays though the expectation is that he will be able to rejoin the club in late September. For many fantasy managers this likely won't provide much value to their rosters. Fantasy managers in need of help for relief pitchers can look at Rays reliever Manuel Rodriguez, who has a 1.69 ERA and two saves in 10.2 innings pitched over the last 30 days.--Kevin Larson - RotoBaller

8 months agoTampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (lat) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday. As expected, Fairbanks will head to the shelf after suffering a right lat strain during Sunday's game. The expectation is that the Rays will go closer-by-committee while Fairbanks is out. The list is long for possible closing options in Tampa Bay. Edwin Uceta seems like the favorite choice, but Drew Rasmussen, Garrett Cleavinger, and Colin Poche are also possible options. There's no obvious fantasy pickup here, so fantasy managers might have to wait and see who the Rays lean on in the ninth inning.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

8 months agoTampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (lat) is expected to miss time after suffering an injury during Sunday's game. Rays' manager Kevin Cash said Fairbanks is likely to be placed on the 15-day injured list following Sunday's contest. The right-hander appears to have suffered the injury during his rough outing where he allowed three runs on three hits during Sunday's win. If Fairbanks misses time, the Rays are expected to go with a closer-by-committee approach. Garrett Cleavinger or Colin Poche are likely the favorites for save chances out of everyone, but they aren't must-add fantasy options given the Rays will probably use multiple pitchers in the ninth inning.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

8 months agoTampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks locked down a 2-1 victory with a scoreless ninth for his 20th save of the season in Sunday's game against the Reds. Fairbanks gave up a hit and struck out one batter in his inning of work. The right-hander now has a 3.11 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP. The Rays traded away ace set-up man Jason Adam on Sunday, so Fairbanks appears to have the closer role all to himself the rest of the way. He should be counted on as a good source of saves for the remainder of the season.--Brian Buckey - RotoBaller
