The Tampa Bay Rays have made another roster move regarding their ever-changing pitching staff as they have placed Diego Castillo on the Injured List, retroactive to May 4th, due to ‘right-groin tightness’.
Taking Castillo’s place on the active roster is right-handed pitcher Pete Fairbanks. After starting out the season as a high leverage arm for the Rays in their bullpen, Fairbanks quickly found himself placed on the Injured List due to a strained rotator cuff; the dependable Fairbanks had only appeared in three games for Tampa Bay before going on the shelf on April 9th.
Fairbanks established himself as one of the Rays top bullpen arms during the 2020 season, racking up a 33.
