6 months agoTampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks (thumb) is in the outfield doing long toss and playing catch under the watchful eye of head athletic trainer Joe Benge before Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Fairbanks is testing his right thumb that was bruised in Tuesday night's contest when he was hit by a comebacker. The 30-year-old veteran right-handed reliever may not be available in a late-inning, high-leverage spot against the Twins on Wednesday, but the good news is that X-rays came back negative on his thumb and he's considered day-to-day. It's been an injury-plagued year so far for Fairbanks, who hasn't been quite as good so far as he was in 2023 with a 3.42 ERA, a 1.35 WHIP, 10 saves and a 26:12 K:BB in his 23 2/3 innings. If Fairbanks isn't available on Wednesday, Jason Adam is the most likely candidate to see a save chance if it arises in Minnesota. UPDATE: Fairbanks said after testing his bruised right thumb playing catch that "everything felt within the realm of good" and he expects to be available to pitch Thursday.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
