"Pete Fairbanks, the Miami Marlins closer, has been placed on the 15-day Injured List by the NL East squad with nerve irritation. Fairbanks was an offseason target of the Blue Jays who were trying to bulk up their bullpen."
"The Marlins were actually off to a good start this season. Going into Wednesday's game (Apr. 29) the Marlins are two games below .500 at 14-16, but thanks to the ineptitude of the rest of the NL East, only the Atlanta Braves (21-9) have a better record than the Fish do."
"Fairbanks left the game on Monday (Apr. 27) against the LA Dodgers dealing with hand numbness. He has a history of nerve issues that has been connected to Raynaud's syndrome, which is a diminished blood flow that leads to numbness in the fingers."
In 2026, the Toronto Blue Jays are struggling with injuries affecting their roster and potential trade targets. Pete Fairbanks, a closer for the Miami Marlins, has been placed on the 15-day Injured List due to nerve irritation. The Blue Jays had shown interest in Fairbanks to strengthen their bullpen, especially after Jeff Hoffman’s struggles. However, the Marlins' decent start and Fairbanks' injury history may hinder any trade discussions, as they might not be willing to part with key players if they remain competitive.
