The Los Angeles Dodgers, leading the National League with a 4.5-game margin in the NL West, are actively seeking pitching reinforcements despite facing significant injuries within their rotation. With 15 pitchers on the injured list, they are particularly interested in acquiring Pete Fairbanks from the Tampa Bay Rays, who has emerged as a standout reliever this season with a 2.15 ERA and 13 saves, all while not allowing a single home run.

As they aim to become the first NL team to repeat as World Series champions since the 1975-76 Cincinnati Reds, the Dodgers leverage their deep farm system and management's commitment to bolster the roster. Fairbanks, under contract through 2026, may come at a premium due to his impressive performance and two additional years of control, making him a prime target for a team determined to maintain its competitive edge.
