3 years agoTampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (lat) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session on Monday, according to Rays manager Kevin Cash. Cash laid out the plan for Fairbanks over the coming week. Assuming Fairbanks has no setbacks, after Monday's session he will pitch in a Florida Complex League game on Thursday. Then he will join Triple-A Durham. Fairbanks is working his way back from a right lat muscle tear that he suffered during spring training. He was a heavily utilized arm out of the pen for the Rays last year, appearing in 47 games and racking up 14 holds and five saves while pitching to a 3.59 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
