Fantasy Impact: After losing Ronny Henriquez for the season, the Marlins jumped quickly to replace him and they picked up one of the better relievers on the market in Fairbanks. The hard-throwing righthander has spent most of his career with the Rays, including the last three seasons as their primary closer, and sports a career 3.19 ERA with 332 strikeouts in 265.1 innings. Last year, Fairbanks recorded career-highs in appearances (61) and saves (27) while posting a 2.83 ERA. Fairbanks is expected to compete with Calvin Faucher, last year's team leader in saves (15), for the closer's role in Miami in 2026.

Fantasy Impact: This is a big loss for the Marlins and their bullpen as Henriquez enjoyed a breakout season in 2025. The 25-year-old righthander appeared in 69 games for Miami and recorded a 2.22 ERA, striking out 98 batters and allowing only 53 hits in 73 innings. He finished tied for 11th among all MLB relievers with 26 holds and was tied with Edwin Diaz for second among NL relievers with his 98 strikeouts. Henriquez, who also added seven saves, punched out 32.4% of the batters he faced. Fantasy owners who were thinking about Henriquez as a sleeper for saves will have to look elsewhere in 2026.
