What happened: The Fairbanks departure came shortly after he entered to pitch the ninth. Tyler Zuber replaced him on the mound.
Why it matters: Any absence could alter late-inning bullpen assignments during the stretch run. Zuber is the immediate alternative after taking over Tuesday.
By the numbers: Fairbanks went on the 15-day injured list with nerve irritation April 28 and was activated May 13.
What to watch: Watch for an update on Fairbanks’ status before Wednesday’s game and any corresponding roster move.
