Resumes mound work Fairbanks (hand) began throwing off a mound Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fairbanks was shut down from throwing for a few days after receiving injections to treat the nerve issue in his right hand, but he's now been cleared to resume throwing off a mound following re-evaluation. A timeline for his return may become clearer once he gets a few more bullpen sessions in. In the meantime, Calvin Faucher and Michael Petersen figure to be the favorites for saves in Miami.

Receives injections for nerve issue Fairbanks underwent injections to alleviate nerve irritation in his right hand after visiting a specialist Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fairbanks will head to the Marlins' facility in Jupiter, Fla. to conduct his rehab after he landed on the injured list Tuesday for the second time this season due to nerve-related issues. He'll wait a few days for the injections to take effect before being re-evaluated, at which point he could be cleared to start throwing again. While Fairbanks is on the shelf, the Marlins will likely take a committee approach to the ninth inning, with Michael Petersen and Calvin Faucher representing two potential candidates to receive save chances.
