Heads to 60-day IL Fairbanks (lat) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Fairbanks is expected to miss at least three months after he was diagnosed with a 50 percent tear of his lat muscle last week. Andrew Kittredge is a favorite to see save chances to begin the year, while a better timetable for Fairbanks' return will likely come into focus once his six-week shutdown concludes.

Receives injection Fairbanks will receive a PRP injection to address his torn lat muscle, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Fairbanks has been shut down from throwing for six weeks and isn't expected to return to the active roster until July. The Rays will likely continue to plan their bullpen around high-leverage situations rather than traditional roles, but Fairbanks' absence leaves Andrew Kittredge looking more alone than expected as a top-tier option for the late innings.

Likely out at least three months Fairbanks has a 50 percent tear of his lat muscle and will likely be forced to miss at least three months, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The Rays announced Monday that Fairbanks would face a shutdown of at least six weeks due to his lat injury, and he'll require at least six additional weeks to build up once he's cleared to resume throwing. As a result, the right-hander will likely be out until at least July. It wouldn't be surprising to see Fairbanks land on the 60-day injured list to begin the regular season.

Facing lengthy absence Fairbanks (lat) is expected to be shut down from throwing for the next six weeks after undergoing an MRI on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact This isn't what the Rays wanted to hear after Fairbanks left Sunday's exhibition with lat tightness. He tossed five pitches before exiting in discomfort. Topkin notes that it may be reasonable to expect midseason as a target for the right-hander's return, as he'll likely need ample time to build back up before returning to game action. While Fairbanks recovers, J.P. Feyereisen should be next in line for an increase in high-leverage opportunities, and he could even get the occasional save chance if Andrew Kittredge needs a night off.

Set to miss time Manager Kevin Cash said Fairbanks will "miss some time" after leaving Sunday's spring game against Atlanta with right lat tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The specifics of the injury remain unclear with Fairbanks scheduled for further evaluation Monday, but the early signs point to a stint on the injured list to open the season. Andrew Kittredge and J.P. Feyereisen should be the favorites for save opportunities to start the campaign for Tampa Bay.

Dealing with lat tightness Fairbanks was removed from Sunday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta with right lat tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Fairbanks threw only five pitches before exiting the field with the training staff, and he'll be evaluated further Monday. The 28-year-old had five saves and 14 holds with a 3.59 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 56:21 K:BB over 42.2 innings last season and is the mix for saves in 2022 along with Andrew Kittredge and J.P. Feyereisen.

Exits after five pitches Fairbanks exited his Grapefruit League appearance Sunday with a team trainer, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Fairbanks threw only five pitches prior to a visit from the trainer. Topkin speculated that Fairbanks suffered a shoulder injury, which would jeopardize his availability to begin the regular season. Fairbanks' absence would likely open additional save opportunities for Andrew Kittredge and J.P. Feyereisen.

Strong form to close out season Fairbanks finished the regular season with seven consecutive scoreless appearances spanning 6.1 innings during which he allowed six hits and generated a 7:3 K:BB.

Impact The solid run to wrap up the campaign was certainly encouraging after Fairbanks experienced some early stumbles following a month-plus stay on the injured list in late summer due to a shoulder injury. The right-hander should garner a spot on the Rays' ALDS roster and serve as a trusted member of the bullpen after posting three holds and three saves across 12.1 innings during the team's 2020 run that culminated in a World Series loss to the Dodgers.

Notches 14th hold Fairbanks secured his 14th hold in a win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing a hit over a scoreless sixth inning.

Impact Fairbanks' control could hardly have been sharper, as he got all nine offerings into the strike zone during a blink-and-you-missed-it frame. The right-hander's dominant performance was a nice bounce-back effort after he took the loss against Detroit his last time out by allowing three earned runs in two-thirds of an inning.

Takes loss Friday Fairbanks (3-6) allowed three runs on two hits and a walk with one strikeout in one-third of an inning, taking the loss Friday versus Detroit.

Impact The 27-year-old loaded the bases in the seventh inning before Andrew Kittredge allowed a grand slam to Jonathan Schoop. Fairbanks has experienced mixed results since returning from a shoulder injury. He's given up five runs in his last 5.1 innings while taking two losses and a blown save in those six appearances. He now has a 4.21 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 49:18 K:BB, five saves, 12 holds and two blown saves across 36.1 innings overall.
