Rays Place Diego Castillo On 10-Day IL, Activate Pete Fairbanks

By Connor Byrne | May 5, 2021 at 4:46pm CDT

The Rays announced that they have placed right-hander Diego Castillo on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Tuesday, with right groin tightness. The club reinstated righty Pete Fairbanks from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.

Tampa Bay will have to go at least the next week-plus without its primary closer in Castillo, who easily leads the team with seven saves in nine attempts. Beyond that, Castillo has posted a more-than-respectable 3.14 ERA/2.87 SIERA with an outstanding 34.5 percent strikeout rate over 14 1/3 innings. The early results suggest Castillo is well on his way to a fourth consecutive solid season to begin his major league career.

Fairbanks made three appearances and threw 2 2/3 innings before the Rays placed him on the IL on April 9 with a right rotator cuff strain. The 27-year-old said then that he was likely to miss about a month, which proved to be accurate. Fairbanks accumulated 26 2/3 quality frames as a member of the Rays last season, when he posted a 2.70 ERA/3.48 SIERA with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate, a 12 percent walk rate and a 46.8 percent groundball rate.

    Congratulations, John Means. The first Orioles no-hitter in 30 years; the first complete game no-no for an Orioles pitcher since Jim Palmer in 1969. The only batter to reach base was Sam Haggerty, who struck out on a wild pitch and was subsequently caught stealing. He threw 26 first-pitch strikes out of 27 batters. You can bet his dad is smiling down on his best friend in life.

      Nah, Means looked like an artist out there today…Mickey Lolich-ish. Great post game interview to boot. The O’s got a keeper.
