Marlins Closer Pete Fairbanks Hit with Nerve Irritation, Lands on IL
Miami Marlins closer Pete Fairbanks has been placed on the 15-day IL due to nerve irritation suffered during Monday’s game against the Dodgers. The team hopes he’ll only be out for the minimum time, but nerve issues can be unpredictable. His absence will likely lead to a bullpen-by-committee approach under manager Clayton McCullough.
