The Texas Rangers are promoting minor league righthanded relief pitchers Peter Fairbanks, Demarcus Evans and Joe Barlow, per Evan Grant on Twitter. Fairbanks, who was promoted from high-A Down East to AA Frisco just a few weeks ago, is headed to AAA Nashville, while Evans and Barlow are going from Down East to Frisco.
Fairbanks is a guy who could be in the majors before the All Star Break. A 25 year who was a 9th round draft pick out of the University of Missouri in 2015, Fairbanks missed much of 2017 and all of 2018 after undergoing his second Tommy John surgery.
