Fantasy baseball bullpen report featuring Jacob Latz, Ben Brown and others

Despite being just over a month into the season, it’s felt much longer due to the volume and volatility of relievers in usage patterns, injuries and performances. Continuing with this theme, Pete Fairbanks struggled with his command against the Dodgers on Sunday, resulting in his second loss. He reported numbness in his thumb and has been placed on the 15-day injured list. Fantasy managers understood the risk he presented, having Raynaud’s syndrome, but this was a warm-weather contest. Once his throwing protocols begin, a timeline for his return will be clearer, though his future outings will be closely scrutinized. As for the Marlins, another matchup-based approach has emerged.Advertisement
