• Reds' Stuart Fairchild: Out for season

  08/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Reds transferred Fairchild (thumb) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Wednesday. Fairchild just landed on the 10-day IL on Tuesday with a sprained left thumb, an injury which had been bothering him for a while, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. He is expected to undergo surgery and will miss the remainder of the season. Fairchild finished with a .215/.286/.368 batting line, eight home runs and 13 stolen bases over 94 contests for the Reds.

  The Reds placed Fairchild on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 26, with a left thumb sprain. It's unclear when Fairchild sustained the injury, but the sprained thumb will force him to the injured list. Rece Hinds was recalled from Triple-A Louisville to provide some depth in the outfield while TJ Friedl continues to start most games in center field.

• Reds' Stuart Fairchild: Fills in, homers off righty

  08/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Fairchild entered Friday's game after Jake Fraley (ankle) was removed and went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in an 8-3 loss to Milwaukee. Fairchild swatted his eighth homer of the season as part of the Reds' three-run seventh inning. It came off a right-hander; Fairchild is batting .152 with a .522 OPS against righties this season. It's unclear why Cincinnati manager David Bell went with Fairchild instead of the lefty-hitting Will Benson, who has slightly better results against right-handers. Bell told MLB.com following the game that Fraley is "fine" and could return to action Saturday.

• Reds' Stuart Fairchild: On bench for Game 1

  07/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Fairchild is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with Atlanta. Fairchild had started in center field in both of Cincinnati's last two games, but he'll give way to Will Benson for the first game of the twin bill. Atlanta is bringing southpaw Chris Sale to the hill for the nightcap, so expect the right-handed-hitting Stuart Fairchild to pick up a start in the outfield while either or both of Benson and Jake Fraley -- both left-handed hitters -- head to the bench.

• Reds' Stuart Fairchild: Logs steal in win

  07/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Fairchild started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a double, a hit-by-pitch, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 4-1 win over Atlanta. Fairchild, who normally is in the lineup against lefties, made a second consecutive start against a right-hander. The steal was his 13th on the season, and his sixth in the last 14 contests. The Reds' outfield has changed over recent days, as Fairchild, Rece Hinds and Austin Slater vie for playing time. That uncertainty is expected to change soon, as TJ Friedl (hamstring) is currently on a rehab assignment and could return for this weekend's series against the Rays.
