Receives injections for nerve issue
Fairbanks received injections to alleviate nerve irritation in his right hand after visiting a specialist Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Fairbanks will head to the Marlins' facility in Jupiter, Fla. to conduct his rehab after he landed on the injured list Tuesday for the second time this season due to nerve-related issues. He'll wait a few days for the injections to take effect before being re-evaluated, at which point he could be cleared to start throwing again. While Fairbanks is on the shelf, the Marlins will likely take a committee approach to the ninth inning, with Michael Petersen and Calvin Faucher representing two potential candidates to receive save chances.

Dealing with nerve irritation
Fairbanks left Monday's 4-2 loss to the Boston due to nerve irritation in his right hand, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports. He was dealt his fifth loss of the season and was charged with one earned run after walking the lone batter he faced.
Analyse
After spotting just one of his five pitches for strikes while facing Mickey Gasper to lead off the ninth inning, Fairbanks was visited on the mound by manager Clayton McCullough and was pulled from the contest. The Marlins provided an explanation for Fairbanks' early exit after the game, with the nerve irritation seemingly related to an issue he dealt with earlier in the season. Fairbanks previously felt discomfort in his hand following an April 27 appearance against the Dodgers and was placed on the 15-day injured list a day later due to nerve irritation. According to the Associated Press, the Marlins will send Fairbanks in for further tests Tuesday before determining whether he'll require a return trip to the shelf.

Credited with win after blown save
Fairbanks (4-4) came away with the win against the Nationals on Friday, allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two batters in one inning.
Analyse
Fairbanks was brought out for the ninth inning to protect the Marlins' 2-1 lead. He struck out the first two batters he faced, but after Jacob Young got on base and stole second, Fairbanks proceeded to give up an RBI single to Daylen Lile to tie the game up at 2-2. It was the fourth blown save chance of the season for Fairbanks, but he ended up being tagged with the win thanks to Javier Sanoja's walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the frame. Fairbanks has a 3.48 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 10.1 innings since the All-Star break.
