All of Fairbanks’ exams have come back clean, which is a great sign for fantasy managers and the Rays. Barring any other developments, he should avoid a lengthy absence and the team should provide a timeline for his return soon.

The Rays have placed Pete Fairbanks on the IL with a nerve-related condition.

The team has not released detailed information on the nature or severity of the condition yet. Fantasy managers should expect Jason Adam or Shawn Armstrong to step in and see an uptick in save opportunities.

Despite a rocky start to the 2024 season, Pete Fairbanks appeared to rediscover some semblance of his former self in Wednesday's narrow win over the Angels, contributing significantly to the Rays' 4-2 triumph.

Delivering a crisp inning with 15 pitches, Fairbanks allowed just a single hit while striking out three, securing his second save of the season without giving up any runs. This performance could be a turning point for the reliever, whose ERA sits at 11.25, with a WHIP of 2.50 over his first five appearances.
