Pete Fairbanks is scheduled to throw two bullpen sessions this week as he continues to return a lat injury suffered in Spring Training according to MLB.com's Adam Berry. (Adam Berry, MLB.com)
Fantasy Impact:
Fairbanks has been throwing bullpen sessions in recent weeks since first beginning to throw again on May 14. If the two sessions this week go well, he could progress to facing live hitters in batting practice on June 27. If Fairbanks continues progressing in his rehab with no setbacks, he could lineup for a return to the Rays' bullpen around the All Star break in July. Fairbanks had 56 strikeouts in just 42 2/3 innings across 47 appearances out of the bullpen last season. Fairbanks' return will bolster a Rays bullpen that is already 5th in the MLB with collective 3.00 ERA.
