Fairbanks was removed from Sunday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta with right lat tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Fairbanks threw only five pitches before exiting the field with the training staff, and he'll be evaluated further Monday. The 28-year-old had five saves and 14 holds with a 3.59 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 56:21 K:BB over 42.2 innings last season and is in the mix for save opportunities in 2022 along with Andrew Kittredge and J.P. Feyereisen.
