Pete Fairbanks News
Tampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks earned his fourth save of the season on Friday after tossing a scoreless ninth inning in a 4-3 win over the Blue Jays. Fairbanks needed just six pitches to dispatch of the heart of the Jays' order. Fantasy managers are surely delighted after the 30-year-old pitched the eighth inning Wednesday, recording a hold and losing out on a save opportunity in the ninth. There may still be some situational pitching going forward, however, where Fairbanks is used in higher-leverage situations and not necessarily the ninth inning. On the season, the righty has a 5.73 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and a 16.7% K-BB% to go along with his four saves.
Tampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks (finger) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The right-hander was unable to pitch on Monday due to a cut on his finger. It sounds like this is no longer an issue, so Fairbanks is good to go now. Jason Adam converted the save on Monday, but figures to go back to his role as the set-up pitcher now. Fantasy managers who have Fairbanks rostered can get him back in their lineups.
Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that the team used relief pitcher Jason Adam to close out the 5-3 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday because closer Pete Fairbanks (finger) was unavailable due to a small cut on his right index finger. The hope is that Fairbanks will be good to go on Tuesday for the second game of the series in Boston. Adam came on and pitched a hitless and scoreless ninth inning on Monday with a walk and three strikeouts to pick up his third save of the year, but there's a good chance Fairbanks will be available for a save situation on Tuesday if it arises. The 30-year-old Fairbanks recently returned from the injured list due to a nerve issue in his right arm. It's been a tough start to the year for him after starting 0-2 with a 7.88 ERA, a 2.00 WHIP, three saves and 11 strikeouts in eight innings pitched.

Despite two IL stints last year, Pete Fairbanks still managed to set a career-high with 45.1 IP. The results were outstanding, with a 2-4 W-L record, 2.58 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 68 Ks and 25 saves. It should come as no surprise that the strikeouts and saves were both career-highs as well. Over the last three seasons, Fairbanks has only totaled 112.0 IP but has a 2.65 ERA and amassed 162 Ks. His ERA isn't lucky either, as Fairbanks had a 2.83 xFIP and 2.82 SIERA last year and a 2.83 xFIP and 2.75 SIERA since 2021. Fairbanks also seemed to do the impossible and emerge from the Rays bullpen as the leading closer. His 25 saves were more than twice as many as the next reliever (Jason Adam with 12 saves). Following his activation off of the IL for the second time on June 15, Fairbanks accounted for 20 of the 24 saves the Rays bullpen tallied until the end of the season. There's no reason to believe he won't be the main closer in Tampa Bay for the 2024 season. Providing Fairbanks can keep off the IL, he is certain to outperform his ADP and be a top-5 fantasy reliever.
