Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (hand) was removed during Saturday's Wild Card game against the Cleveland Guardians. The right-hander was pulled after issuing two straight walks in the sixth inning. The 28-year-old explained that he couldn't feel his fingers. The organization is hopeful that it's only a minor circulation issue. Hopefully he'll be able to fully recover and be ready for the beginning of spring training next season.
Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks picked up his fifth save of the season in Monday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox. Fairbanks got the call to close things out with a one-run lead. He allowed a leadoff single, got the first out on a strikeout, and then got the second out on a force at second but the hitter advanced to second on a throwing error. Despite the error, Fairbanks was able to strand the tying run at second by striking out Xander Bogaerts to end the game. Fairbanks has been one of the Rays' strong bullpen arms this season, compiling a 1.53 ERA and 13.25 K/9 rate in 17 2/3 innings pitched. This makes him worth a look in deep roto leagues, but the Rays' committee use of their bullpen limits his fantasy value.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Pete Fairbanks struck out one across a perfect inning to earn the save during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. He entered Saturday's game in the ninth inning to protect a three-run lead. The 28-year-old needed 11 pitches to secure his third save of the season. Fairbanks has been on fire recently and hasn't allowed a run since July 22. The Rays right-hander owns a 2.31 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and a 16: 1 K: BB across 11 2/3 innings in 2022. Fairbanks is a speculative add in most standard 5x5 leagues and continues to be one of Tampa Bay's top setup men in 2022.

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.
