Marlins evaluate Pete Fairbanks after nerve irritation

Miami Marlins closer Pete Fairbanks suffered nerve irritation and paralysis-like symptoms in his throwing arm, prompting re-evaluation and a potential IL stint as the team battles in a playoff race. Reports indicate this could test the bullpen depth as Fairbanks has endured a down season and previously dealt with similar issues in May, raising concerns about his availability for Miami’s late-season push.
