Takes first loss Fairbanks (1-1) took the loss in Friday's defeat at the hands of the Orioles, allowing an earned run on two hits and a walk over 1.1 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Fairbanks settled things down after Blake Snell allowed three straight extra-base hits -- including back-to-back home runs -- to start the fourth inning. However, he eventually became the pitcher of record when Andrew Kittredge allowed an RBI single to Anthony Santander that plated inherited runner Hanser Alberto to snap a 3-3 tie, which handed Fairbanks the first blemish on his 2020 ledger. The hard-throwing right-hander had some control issues Friday while getting just 17 of 28 pitches into the strike zone, and he's now allowed an earned run in two of his first three appearances despite generating an impressive 7:2 K:BB.

Mixed bag thus far Kittredge, who fired a scoreless two-thirds of an inning during which he allowed one hit in a loss to the Orioles on Friday, now has a 6.00 ERA through his first three appearances.

Impact The right-hander got his season off on the right foot with a pair of scoreless frames versus the Blue Jays on Sunday, but he subsequently was touched up for two earned runs on two hits by the Braves over just one-third of an inning Wednesday. Kittredge has filled an increasingly larger bullpen role over the last three seasons for manager Kevin Cash, topping out at 37 appearances, including seven starts, in 2019.

Throws live BP in camp Kittredge threw live batting practice Saturday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact The versatile right-hander was already trending toward a roster spot when spring training was suspended. With manager Kevin Cash allowed to keep up to 30 players active for the first two weeks of the 2020 season, Kittredge's chances of being with the team Opening Day appear even stronger. Additionally, the 30-year-old's ability to potentially fill multiple bullpen roles and also serve as a spot starter in a pinch serve to further his already strong coase.
