The Rays' 8-7 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks today came at an unfortunate cost, as both Pete Fairbanks and Diaz left the game due to injuries.
Fairbanks' injury is the more serious matter, as manager told reporters that the closer suffered an apparent lat strain, and will be headed to the 15-day injured list.
This will be his second IL stint of the season, after he missed around three weeks earlier this year dealing with a nerve entrapment issue.
Most of the damage against Fairbanks occurred prior to his first IL stint, as he posted a 1.91 ERA in his first 37 2/3 innings after recovering from the nerve entrapment problems.
