Pete Fairbanks - Page 23 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Efficient as opener Fairbanks tossed 1.2 scoreless innings Monday, striking out two and issuing one walk in the win over the Mets. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact After walking the first batter he faced, Fairbanks recorded five straight outs, needing just 25 pitches to roll through 1.2 innings. He lowered his season ERA to 2.55 in 24.2 innings. With the season winding down, Fairbanks could move to a standard bullpen role rather than an opener down the stretch.

Opening Monday Fairbanks will start Monday's game against the Mets, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 26-year-old has opened one other contest this season and will do so again in Monday's series finale. Fairbanks has a 2.74 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 33:12 K:BB over 23 innings and doesn't figure to throw much more than an inning. Josh Fleming is the likely candidate to follow as the primary pitcher.

Grabs fifth win Fairbanks (5-3) was credited with the win over the Orioles in the second game of a doubleheader on Thursday, allowing two hits and recording two strikeouts over a scoreless inning.

Impact Fairbanks labored through a 27-pitch inning, but ultimately, he did enough to come through unscathed and became the pitcher of record when the Rays rallied for four runs in the home half of the frame. The 26-year-old also served as an opener Wednesday against the Nationals, and after throwing a combined 47 pitches in the back-to-back outings, he may need multiple days off before returning to the mound.

Opening Wednesday Fairbanks will serve as the opener Wednesday against the Nationals, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 26-year-old has allowed runs in two of his past three outings but will receive the starting nod in Wednesday's series finale. Fairbanks has a 3.00 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB through 21 innings for the season. Josh Fleming is expected to follow him as the primary pitcher.

Saddled with third loss Fairbanks (4-3) took the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing an earned run on a hit and a walk over two-thirds of an inning.

Impact Fairbanks was tasked with preserving a 3-2 lead when he entered the game with a man on in the fifth, but he ultimately allowed an RBI double to Rafael Devers and a run-scoring groundout to J.D. Martinez. Only the latter run went on Fairbanks' ledger, but it was enough to saddle him with the loss when the Rays were unable to mount a comeback the rest of the way. Fairbanks has put together extended stretches of effective performances in what has been a busy season, but he's now uncharacteristically allowed a pair of earned runs over his last three appearances.

Takes second loss Thursday Fairbanks (4-2) was charged with the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Red Sox on Thursday, allowing an earned run on two hits and a walk over one inning. He struck out two.

Impact It was an eventful 23-pitch outing for Fairbanks, who allowed a go-ahead RBI single to Rafael Devers that turned out to be the difference in the game. The 26-year-old right-hander saw his string of five straight scoreless efforts snapped with Thursday's stumble, and the earned run he surrendered was his first since Aug. 10, when he allowed two overall to these same Red Sox.

Earns fourth win Fairbanks (4-1) struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings to get the win against Miami on Friday.

Impact Fairbanks entered with two outs in the seventh inning after Ryan Yarbrough (groin) was unable to continue due to groin tightness. Fairbanks hit Jorge Alfaro with a pitch but was otherwise perfect Friday, and he has not allowed an earned run in 7.1 innings while racking up 11 strikeouts over that span. The Rays bullpen is decimated by injuries, so look for Fairbanks to continue to receive the ball late in games.

Impact After a shaky start to the year (6.43 ERA in first seven innings), Fairbanks has settled in as the pitcher the Rays thought they were getting when they traded Nick Solak to the Rangers for him in a two-player trade last July. The Rays' bullpen has been decimated by injuries, and while Diego Castillo seems like the top option for saves, Fairbanks and John Curtiss are also in that mix.

Grabs third win Fairbanks (3-1) was credited with the victory in a win over the Yankees on Wednesday, recording one out on a strikeout to close out the seventh inning. He also threw a wild pitch.

Impact Fairbanks came on after Ryan Thompson got three outs behind an effective eight-strikeout performance by starter Tyler Glasnow, and he had a hand in making the situation more of a high-leverage scenario than it should have been. Fairbanks' wild pitch while facing Aaron Hicks moved inherited runner Brett Gardner to third base with two outs, but the right-hander ultimately bounced back to retire the slugger on a called third strike. Fairbanks seems to be hitting his stride after allowing a combined three earned runs over two outings to the Yankees and Red Sox earlier in August, as he's now fired 3.1 scoreless frames across his subsequent four appearances.

Chance to serve as opener Manager Kevin Cash mentioned Fairbanks as a candidate to serve as an opener during one of the two weekend games against the Blue Jays in Buffalo, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fairbanks last logged an appearance Wednesday, a one-inning outing against the Red Sox. The right-hander would likely only be needed for a couple of frames if used as an opener in the same way Cash has deployed pitchers in that role the last couple of seasons, so his arm should certainly be rested sufficiently if called upon. Fairbanks has had an up-and-down start to the campaign, surrendering at least one run in half of his eight appearances on his way to a 5.63 ERA and 1.75 WHIP over eight innings.

Impact Fairbanks gave up a game-tying RBI single to Luke Voit in the fourth inning of the seven-inning affair, but he became eligible for the win when Austin Meadows singled in Willy Adames and Kevin Kiermaier with his own run-scoring hit in the home half of the frame. Fairbanks had opened August with back-to-back scoreless, one-inning efforts, but Saturday marked the third time in six appearances he's allowed an earned run.
