Fairbanks (hand) began throwing off a mound Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Fairbanks was shut down from throwing for a few days after receiving injections to treat the nerve issue in his right hand, but he's now been cleared to resume throwing off a mound following re-evaluation. A timeline for his return may become clearer once he gets a few more bullpen sessions in. In the meantime, Calvin Faucher and Michael Petersen figure to be the favorites for saves in Miami.
