    The Marlins announced Friday that Pete Fairbanks will undergo surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome.

    Fairbanks landed on the injured list earlier in the week due to right median nerve irritation and now we know what was really going on. It’s a brutal blow for the impending free agent as he’s going to require a lengthy require and won’t be ready for the start of the 2027 season.

    Marlins placed RHP Pete Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list with right median nerve irritation.

    It feels like a virtual lock that Fairbanks is done for the rest of the season with less than two weeks remaining on the calendar. He appeared visibly frustrated when he was forced to depart Monday’s save chance against the Diamondbacks due to a recurring nerve issue. The 32-year-old impending free agent finishes with a calamitous 6.31 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 57/21 K/BB ratio across 41 1/3 innings over 46 appearances. He converted 19 of 23 saves during his Marlins debut. His absence opens the door for either Calvin Faucher or Michael Petersen to finish the year as Miami’s closer, although a committee approach seems like the most logical outcome.

    Pete Fairbanks left Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks in the ninth inning with an injury.

    It seemed like it might be a recurrence of his nerve problems with his hand. Fairbanks walked the only batter he faced before departing with a 7-6 lead in the ninth. Jack Ralston replaced him and ended up taking a blown save and a loss. If Fairbanks returns to the IL, Calvin Faucher will be the favorite for saves in the Marlins pen the rest of the way.

    Pete Fairbanks allowed one run before holding on for the save against the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Marlins activated RHP Pete Fairbanks from the 15-day injured list.

    Fairbanks, who missed the minimum 15 days with his latest recurrence of his hand issues, returns without the benefit of a rehab assignment. He’ll probably go right back to closing for the Marlins. Calvin Faucher picked up the team’s only save while he was out.

    Pete Fairbanks received injections to address nerve irritation in his right hand.

    Marlins manager Clayton McCullough has declined to name a closer in his absence, but Calvin Faucher seems like the logical choice to get the first opportunity. It’s a bit unclear how much time Fairbanks will miss since he’s dealt with nerve-related symptoms related to Raynaud’s disease in his fingers for the last couple years.

    Marlins placed RHP Pete Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list with right median nerve irritation.

    It’s the usual issue for Fairbanks. He might be back in 15 days and get the closer’s role back for the end of the season. Until then, Calvin Faucher is probably the favorite for saves in the Marlins pen, making him a decent pickup for those with a need.

    Pete Fairbanks was removed from Monday’s game against the Red Sox with nerve irritation in his right hand.

    It’s been a recurring issue for Fairbanks, who dealt with a similar issue that required a trip to the injured list back in May. He’ll be reevaluated prior to Tuesday’s game before a decision on his next steps is made. The 32-year-old stopper was lifted from Monday’s appearance against the Red Sox after issuing a leadoff walk in the ninth inning of a tie ballgame. It would most likely be Calvin Faucher taking over as Miami’s primary closer in his absence. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper mixed leagues.

    Pete Fairbanks left Monday’s game against the Red Sox with a trainer.

    Fairbanks left with a trainer following leadoff walk to Mickey Gasper in the ninth inning of a tie ballgame. The 32-year-old has a lengthy injury history and it wouldn’t be surprising if this were an injured list situation. There should be an update on his status after the game. It would likely be Calvin Faucher taking over as Miami’s closer in his absence.

    Pete Fairbanks allowed one earned run over one inning while striking out two, picking up the win on Friday over the Nationals.

    Fairbanks entered the game in the ninth inning to pick up the save, but after retiring the first two batters of the inning, the veteran righty would walk Jacob Young, who then stole second, and scored soon after on an RBI single by Daylen Lyle. Fairbanks would retire the next batter to end the inning and would pick up his fourth win of the season after Javier Sanoja drove in the winning run in the bottom of the frame. Friday marked the first blown save of the month for Fairbanks, who has otherwise been solid in August, posting a 1.80 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP over five frames.
