Pete Fairbanks News
Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (lat) is scheduled for two bullpen sessions this week before he potentially progresses to facing hitters in live batting practice on June 27. If everything goes well, he could be in line for a return around the All-Star break after recovering from a torn right lat muscle suffered in a spring training outing on March 27. Reliever JT. Chargois (oblique) suffered a setback in his first official rehab outing on May 20 with Triple-A Durham, and a test showed a Grade 2 oblique strain, which typically takes at least six weeks to recover from. He's felt good playing catch and could move to bullpen sessions the week of June 27. Right-hander Yonny Chirinos (elbow) has been throwing bullpens and is scheduled for his first live batting practice session on June 28.
Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (lat), who was diagnosed with a 50% tear in his right lat, is scheduled for a follow-up appointment on May 11. Fairbanks was injured on the fifth pitch on March 27 and was shut down from throwing for six weeks. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection in Dallas. The 28-year-old is currently on the 60-day injured list and is expected to miss three months of action. Andrew Kittredge is the best bet for saves until Fairbanks returns, but Ryan Thompson has jumped into the picture with two saves of his own this week. Kittredge has three saves on the season and has a pristine 1.93 ERA and 0.64 WHIP in 9 1/3 innings pitched in the early going for the Rays.
The Tampa Bay Rays will be without relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (lat) for a minimum of six weeks of no throwing before being re-evaluated. He was diagnosed with a 50% tear of his lat muscle and will need at least six week to build back up when he's cleared to start throwing. It's a tough break for the 28-year-old right-hander and Tampa's bullpen, as Fairbanks won't be back with the team until at least July. Expect the Rays to place him on the 60-day injured list to begin the season. Fairbanks had a 3.59 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, five saves and 56 strikeouts in 42 2/3 relief innings for the Rays last year in a high-leverage role. With Fairbanks sidelined for likely half the season, Andrew Kittredge currently projects as the team's primary closer, but J.T. Chargois and J.P. Feyereisen could also see some ninth-inning work.

Pete Fairbanks was diagnosed with a partial lat tear in his shoulder this Spring and is being shut down from throwing for six weeks. The plan is to re-evaluate things after the six weeks and then if cleared, he can start building up to a return for the Rays. That makes a late-June return seem the best-case scenario and comes on the back of a season in which two injuries limited Fairbanks to 42.2 IP. When healthy, Fairbanks was effective with a 3.59 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, five saves and 56 Ks. While his 29.6% K% was in the 85th percentile among pitchers last year, his 11.1% BB% was in the 17th percentile and goes a long way to explaining that elevated WHIP. Fairbanks had an 11.1% BB% in his 47.2 IP prior to 2021 so it shouldn't have come as a surprise that he had control issues. And given the Rays desire to have a fluid bullpen in which 14 different pitchers registered saves last season and the team lead in saves (Diego Castillo) was traded in July, it's difficult to see Fairbanks as being a viable option in fantasy. In addition to his five saves last year, Fairbanks did have 14 holds so could be a solid option in leagues counting holds when he returns. But health and control issues leave question marks over his effectiveness as a fantasy pitcher.
