Holds on for 17th save Fairbanks secured the save Sunday against the Mets, allowing no hits and two walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

Impact Fairbanks gave a listless Mets offense some life Sunday, putting the possible winning run at the plate after issuing a pair of free passes, but he hung on by getting A.J. Ewing to fly out and end the game. The hard-throwing right-hander hasn't been particularly reliable this season as Miami's closer, but he has rattled off five consecutive hitless innings. Fairbanks has a 6.37 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB with 17 saves in 20 attempts over 35.1 innings in 2026.

It's a trend in the right direction for Fairbanks, though he sports a 6.55 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 34.1 innings this season.

Blows save, takes loss Sunday Fairbanks (3-4) blew the save and took the loss Sunday against the Brewers after allowing three runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning.

Impact Fairbanks entered the ninth inning protecting a one-run lead but allowed a leadoff single before issuing a walk to Brice Turang. He briefly settled down with a strikeout, but William Contreras followed with a three-run walk-off homer to hand Fairbanks his fourth loss of the season. The right-hander has now blown three of his 16 save opportunities, and after posting a 6.83 ERA and 1.41 WHIP during the first half, Sunday's outing did little to inspire confidence for fantasy managers heading into the future.

Collects 12th save Fairbanks recorded his 12th save of the season Wednesday in a 4-2 win over the Rangers, giving up one run on one hit. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

Impact The right-hander was taken deep by Joc Pederson for a second straight day, but Fairbanks otherwise cruised through the ninth inning on 13 pitches (10 strikes). Despite his success in save chances -- he's converted six straight and is 12-for-14 on the year -- Fairbanks has looked shaky in June, serving up three homers and getting scored upon in four of 10 appearances while compiling a 5.58 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB over 9.2 innings.

Stumbles in non-save situation Fairbanks gave up two runs on two hits in the ninth inning of Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Rangers. He struck out one.

Impact Called in to protect a 6-2 lead, Fairbanks made things interesting by serving up a two-out solo shot to Joc Pederson before hitting Wyatt Langford with a pitch and giving up an RBI triple to Brandon Nimmo. Josh Jung then nearly tied the game on a hanging slider, but instead the ball came up a couple feet short of the fence in center field for the final out. Fairbanks has had a bumpy June, posting a 5.19 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB in 8.2 innings, but he's gone a perfect 5-for-5 on save chances this month while adding a win and a hold in nine appearances.
