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.

Nabs first win in dominant outing Fairbanks (1-0) was credited with the victory in a win over the Braves on Tuesday, allowing a hit while recording three strikeouts over a scoreless fifth inning.

Impact Starter Yonny Chirinos was able to provide manager Kevin Cash with four quality innings, setting the stage for Fairbanks to get the call in the fifth. The hard-throwing right-hander had a rather memorable frame, as he rang up swinging strikeouts of the trio of Ronald Acuna, Ozzie Albies and Freddie Freeman after allowing a leadoff single to Austin Jackson. The dominance over three of the most formidable bats in the Braves lineup underscores the upside of Fairbanks, who bounced back in fine form from having allowed an earned run on two hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning to the Blue Jays in his first appearance of the season Saturday.

Regular bullpens during shutdown Fairbanks has been able to throw bullpen sessions in his local area while spring training has been suspended, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The update on the hard-throwing right-hander was provided by pitching coach Kyle Snyder, who was also supervising the return to the mound of several other Rays pitchers at Tropicana Field on Friday. Fairbanks' overpowering fastball makes him a natural candidate for late-inning work if there is a 2020 season, especially with the strong likelihood of expanded rosters.
