Marlins Place Pete Fairbanks On Injured List
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Miami Marlins have placed closer Pete Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list due to nerve irritation after he left a game against the Dodgers with hand numbness.
- Fairbanks has struggled this season, allowing 10 runs over nine innings and has had multiple outings with three runs allowed, including the recent loss where he exited with the bases loaded.
- The Marlins recalled left-handed pitcher Cade Gibson from Triple-A Jacksonville to fill the roster spot.
- Fairbanks signed a one-year, $13 million deal this offseason to be a key high-leverage reliever but has a history of nerve issues related to Raynaud’s syndrome, though it’s unclear if the current problem is connected.
- The Marlins hope Fairbanks’ injured list stint will be brief, as he missed three weeks earlier this season due to a similar nerve issue.
