The Rays have activated right-hander from the 15-day injured list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports ( ). Right-hander has been optioned to Triple- Leury Garcia Jersey A in the corresponding move. Fairbanks will return just short of three weeks after being placed on the IL with an unspecified nerve problem, so its good to see the reliever back in action relatively soon after such a vague and po sibly ominous diagnosis. As Fairbanks told , it was discovered that he was dealing with nerve entrapment, rather than anything related to his past dealings with Raynauds syndrome (a condition that has caused a numb feeling in Fairbanks fingertips). With a pair of Triple-A rehab outings now in the books, Fairbanks has been deemed ready to return to the Tampa bullpen. Traditionally known for a strong relief corps, the Rays pen has been a surprising weak link this season. The relievers 11.7% walk rate is the highest of any bullpen in the league, and Tampa Bay also ranks 25th of 30 clubs in bullpen strikeout rate (20.7%) and 27th in bullpen ERA (4.76). Getting their first-choice closer back should help the Rays, though Fairbanks was part of the problem over his first eight appearances of the season. Fairbanks had a 9.00 ERA in seven innings, with almost as many walks (eight) as strikeouts (10). Control has long been something of an i sue for Fairbanks, but it didnt stop him from posting a 2.54 ERA over 138 2/3 innings out of Tampas bullpen from 2020-23. Though Fairbanks has a checkered injury history, his results on the mound led the Rays to sign him to back in January 2023, covering the 2023-25 seasons and with a club option for 2026.
