Scouting Report: Peter Fairbanks
Miami Marlins | RP
Overall
Summary
Pete Fairbanks, 32-year-old right-handed closer for the Miami Marlins, was placed on the 15-day injured list on April 28, 2026 due to nerve irritation in his right hand. He completed a "very encouraging" 13-pitch bullpen session on May 7 and was subsequently reinstated from the IL on May 13 after missing the minimum 15 days. Fairbanks has struggled with a 10.00 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 9 innings pitched across 10 appearances, though he recorded 5 saves before the injury. His underlying metrics (3.20-3.48 FIP, 22.0 K-BB%) suggest better performance than his surface statistics indicate. He signed a one-year, $13M deal with Miami in the offseason after seven seasons with Tampa Bay.
Strengths
- Completed encouraging bullpen session with no complications
- Cleared to return after minimum IL stint (15 days)
