Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Slated for surgery
Fairbanks will undergo surgery to treat thoracic outlet syndrome, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Fairbanks was ruled out for the season upon landing on the injured list Tuesday with nerve irritation in his right hand, and now that he's confirmed to be dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome, he'll go under the knife to treat the issue. A timeline for his return should emerge after his procedure, though he'll likely have to sit out the first portion of the 2027 campaign.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Placed on injured list
The Marlins placed Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right median nerve irritation.
Fairbanks has already landed on the injured list twice this season due to nerve issues in his right hand, and his third will cause his season to come to an early end. The 32-year-old picked up 19 saves while struggling to a 6.31 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 41.1 innings during his first year with the Marlins. Calvin Faucher and Michael Petersen will both be candidates to work as Miami's closer during the season's final weeks.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Nerve issues resurface
Fairbanks' removal from Monday's appearance in Arizona was due to a recurrence of medial nerve irritation in his pitching hand, Jesse Borek of MLB.com reports.
Making his second appearance since coming off the injured list, Fairbanks threw only six pitches Monday before exiting. Fairbanks has required two different trips to the 15-day injured list this season with his nerve problem, and if he needs a third, it would end his season. More should be known about Fairbanks' condition prior to Tuesday's contest against the Diamondbacks. If Fairbanks is shelved, Calvin Faucher and Michael Petersen are among the candidates to fill the Marlins' closer role.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Exits early Monday
Fairbanks was removed from Monday's game against the Diamondbacks due to an apparent arm injury, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
Fairbanks was unable to record an out in the bottom of the ninth inning and left the game with the trainer after throwing only six pitches. Monday marked his second appearance since returning from the IL due to medial nerve irritation in his pitching hand, an issue that has forced him to the shelf on two separate occasions this year. It's unclear at this time whether the same issue cropped up again for Fairbanks during Monday's save opportunity, though manager Clayton McCullough noted that the right-hander felt a "similar sensation to what he had previously," per Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com, hinting that a trip to the injured list could be on the table. The team should have another update on the closer over the next day or two after sending him for further evaluation.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Earns 19th save
Fairbanks earned the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing one run on one hit and one walk without recording a strikeout in the ninth inning.
Fairbanks was called on for his first save opportunity since returning from the injured list Wednesday and closed the door despite allowing a run. The 32-year-old's fastball velocity was down nearly three mph from his season average, so he is possibly still experiencing some rust from his hand injury. He's now 19-for-23 in save chances this year but owns an ugly 6.10 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 57:20 K:BB across 41.1 innings this season.

The Marlins activated Fairbanks (hand) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
As expected, Fairbanks required only a minimum 15-day absence while recovering from medial nerve irritation in his pitching hand. The right-hander did not make any rehab appearances, but he will likely immediately be thrown back into the closer role after a relatively brief absence.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Expected back Wednesday
Fairbanks (hand) will throw another bullpen session Monday and is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Fairbanks has been shelved for nearly two weeks of action with medial nerve irritation in his right hand. He was administered multiple injections to combat the issue, and the shots appear to have achieved the desired goal. Fairbanks should be thrown right back into the Marlins' closer role upon activation.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Resumes mound work
Fairbanks (hand) began throwing off a mound Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Fairbanks was shut down from throwing for a few days after receiving injections to treat the nerve issue in his right hand, but he's now been cleared to resume throwing off a mound following re-evaluation. A timeline for his return may become clearer once he gets a few more bullpen sessions in. In the meantime, Calvin Faucher and Michael Petersen figure to be the favorites for saves in Miami.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Receives injections for nerve issue
Fairbanks received injections to alleviate nerve irritation in his right hand after visiting a specialist Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Fairbanks will head to the Marlins' facility in Jupiter, Fla. to conduct his rehab after he landed on the injured list Tuesday for the second time this season due to nerve-related issues. He'll wait a few days for the injections to take effect before being re-evaluated, at which point he could be cleared to start throwing again. While Fairbanks is on the shelf, the Marlins will likely take a committee approach to the ninth inning, with Michael Petersen and Calvin Faucher representing two potential candidates to receive save chances.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Sent to IL with nerve issue
The Marlins placed Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right medial nerve irritation.
Fairbanks had to be removed from Monday's appearance versus the Red Sox after just one batter due to the issue. He is scheduled to see a specialist Tuesday, per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, and more could be known regarding a timeline for the reliever following that visit. While Fairbanks is sidelined, any of Michael Petersen, Calvin Faucher and Josh Ekness could see closing opportunities.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Dealing with nerve irritation
Fairbanks left Monday's 4-2 loss to the Boston due to nerve irritation in his right hand, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports. He was dealt his fifth loss of the season and was charged with one earned run after walking the lone batter he faced.
After spotting just one of his five pitches for strikes while facing Mickey Gasper to lead off the ninth inning, Fairbanks was visited on the mound by manager Clayton McCullough and was pulled from the contest. The Marlins provided an explanation for Fairbanks' early exit after the game, with the nerve irritation seemingly related to an issue he dealt with earlier in the season. Fairbanks previously felt discomfort in his hand following an April 27 appearance against the Dodgers and was placed on the 15-day injured list a day later due to nerve irritation. According to the Associated Press, the Marlins will send Fairbanks in for further tests Tuesday before determining whether he'll require a return trip to the shelf.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Exits with trainer Monday
Fairbanks left Monday's game against the Red Sox after suffering an apparent injury, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Fairbanks called for the trainer after issuing a walk to the lone batter he faced in the top of the ninth inning, and he walked off the mound to the clubhouse after a brief conversation. The nature of the injury is unknown at this time, but he'll presumably be sent for further evaluation after exiting.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Credited with win after blown save
Fairbanks (4-4) came away with the win against the Nationals on Friday, allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two batters in one inning.
Fairbanks was brought out for the ninth inning to protect the Marlins' 2-1 lead. He struck out the first two batters he faced, but after Jacob Young got on base and stole second, Fairbanks proceeded to give up an RBI single to Daylen Lile to tie the game up at 2-2. It was the fourth blown save chance of the season for Fairbanks, but he ended up being tagged with the win thanks to Javier Sanoja's walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the frame. Fairbanks has a 3.48 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 10.1 innings since the All-Star break.

The veteran closer converted his fifth straight save chance while extending his scoreless streak to seven appearances and seven innings -- a stretch in which he's allowed just one hit with a 10:2 K:BB. Despite his recent form, on the season Fairbanks is saddled with a 6.03 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 37.1 frames with 18 saves in 21 opportunities.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Holds on for 17th save
Fairbanks secured the save Sunday against the Mets, allowing no hits and two walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.
Fairbanks gave a listless Mets offense some life Sunday, putting the possible winning run at the plate after issuing a pair of free passes, but he hung on by getting A.J. Ewing to fly out and end the game. The hard-throwing right-hander hasn't been particularly reliable this season as Miami's closer, but he has rattled off five consecutive hitless innings. Fairbanks has a 6.37 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB with 17 saves in 20 attempts over 35.1 innings in 2026.

Fairbanks earned the save in Friday's 5-2 win over the Mets, striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.
Fairbanks opened the ninth inning with a four-pitch strikeout of Marcus Semien, and the endgamer needed just three more pitches to successfully close out Friday's game. Fairbanks has converted save chances in each of his last three outings and is up to 16 saves on the season, tied with Tanner Scott and Devin Williams for seventh most in the National League. It continues a trend in the right direction for Fairbanks, though he sports a 6.55 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 34.1 innings this season.
