Pete Fairbanks
Full stats on FanGraphs →Injury Report
2 entriesOfficially placed on the 15-day IL with nerve irritation in his thumb (his Raynaud's history is a factor). The Marlins will go to a committee — Justin Mason flagged Tyler Phillips as the primary save candidate after his last save, with Calvin Faucher and Anthony Bender mixed in. No firm timeline.
NEW: Left Monday's game against the Dodgers after recording just 1 out, walking 2 and allowing a Shohei Ohtani ground-rule double. Reported numbness in his hand — concerning given his Raynaud's Syndrome diagnosis. If he hits the IL, the Marlins would go to a committee of Calvin Faucher, Anthony Bender, and Tyler Phillips.
Stash of the Week
1 entryFairbanks is activated from the IL on Tuesday and per FanGraphs Roto Riteup, 'should resume closing duties this week.' The Marlins ran a committee in his absence (Faucher-Cabrera-Bender) and converted only 60% of save chances, so Fairbanks's role is fully secure on return. He carried a 1.45 ERA at the time of injury with 13 K vs. 1 BB. Top-15 RP rest of season — claim in any league he's still floating before tonight's lineup card hits.
Closer Watch
6 entriesThree straight outings with a run allowed. Michael Peterson (2.25 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 23 K in last 16 IP) is clearly the next in line. Trade Fairbanks while you still can get value — the role is actively eroding.
Fairbanks has allowed a run or more in three straight outings. With Anthony Bender on the IL, Michael Peterson (2.25 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 23 K in last 16 IP) is next in line. The role could change any day.
7.27 ERA over his last four appearances with at least one run allowed in each outing. Michael Petersen (3.08 ERA, 14 holds, 10.9 K/9) is a credible replacement and has been functioning as the primary setup man for over a month. This closer situation could flip any day — monitor before rostering.
Activated Tuesday and reclaims the closer role per Marlins manager. Faucher / Cabrera / Bender committee converted only 60% of save chances in his absence. Fairbanks was at 1.45 ERA pre-injury with 13 K / 1 BB. Top-15 RP rest of season — claim before tonight's lineup card.
Activated Tuesday and resumes the closer role per Roberts. Marlins ran a committee in his absence and only converted 60% of save chances — Fairbanks is fully secure on return. 1.45 ERA pre-injury with 13 K/1 BB. Top-15 RP rest of season.
NEW CONCERN: Left Monday's game with numbness in his hand. Has Raynaud's Syndrome history. If he hits the IL, Calvin Faucher leads a committee with Anthony Bender and Tyler Phillips. Monitor daily.
