Eligibility
Pete Fairbanks notched a save with a flawless inning, striking out one in the Rays' narrow 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
This performance was a clean and efficient outing for Fairbanks, who needed just six pitches to secure the win. Despite a rocky season with a 5.73 ERA and 1.45 WHIP, this game could be a sign of stabilization, especially considering his impressive 13.1 K/9 rate and solid 2.53 FIP. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Fairbanks as he may still offer valuable strikeouts and occasional saves, but his high ERA and WHIP make him a risky play in most formats.
Pete Fairbanks (arm) is with the team and expected to be activated this week.
