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.
