Stuart Fairchild Fantasy Stats

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Stuart Fairchild (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Thursday. Fairchild has been on the IL since July 23 with a strained right oblique. The 29-year-old has not yet resumed baseball activities since then and would be eligible to return from the IL the last week of the season. Fairchild has been limited to only 28 games this year due to the injury. When he was on the field, he slashed .273/.333/.606 with two stolen bases, both of which were in one game.

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired outfielder Stuart Fairchild from the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, according to Ryan Bass of Bally Sports. To make room for Fairchild on the 40-man roster, the Rays transferred right-hander Manuel Rodriguez (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL. Fairchild will head to the American League after the Braves designated him for assignment on Monday. The 29-year-old can remain on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats, as he'll most likely serve as outfield depth in his new home with the Rays. At best, he might get some run against left-handed pitchers. The former second-round pick of the Cincinnati Reds in 2017 out of Wake Forest has hit .223 in his five years in the big leagues with 18 home runs, 68 RBI and 25 steals in 277 games played.

The Atlanta Braves announced on Monday that they reinstated outfielder Stuart Fairchild (finger) from the 10-day injured list and designated outfielder Jose Azocar for assignment in a corresponding move. Fairchild is finally ready to return from a dislocated pinkie finger that has kept him sidelined since late May. The 29-year-old played in three minor-league rehab games and went 5-for-12 at the plate. Now back in the big leagues, he'll strictly be a bench bat for the Braves will seeing occasional playing time in the outfield against left-handed pitching. Fairchild can continue to be ignored in mixed fantasy leagues. He's played in only 21 games for the Braves this year and has gone 6-for-33 (.182) with two RBI, two steals, seven runs and nine strikeouts in 36 plate appearances. Fairchild will mostly be used as a defensive replacement late in games.

The Atlanta Braves announced on Friday that they placed outfielder Stuart Fairchild (finger) on the 10-day injured list with a dislocated pinkie finger and optioned right-hander Michael Peterson to Triple-A Gwinnett. The Braves also selected the contract of outfielder Jose Azocar to the major-league roster. Fairchild suffered the fractured finger sliding into second base in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies and will likely require more than 10 days to rehab. The 29-year-old really wasn't a fantasy factor at all, even in NL-only leagues, as a reserve outfielder in Atlanta. The former second-rounder of the Cincinnati Reds in 2017 out of Wake Forest has gone 6-for-33 (.182) with no homers, two RBI and two steals in 21 games played as a bench option. Azocar will now take his place as outfield depth on the big-league roster.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Stuart Fairchild (finger) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, according to Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Fairchild reportedly injured a finger on his right hand while sliding into second base during Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader. He went 1-for-1 with a walk before exiting the contest. The 29-year-old has filled a depth role this season, appearing in 13 games as a right fielder and four as a designated hitter. He's slashing just .156/.206/.250 with a concerning 5.9 percent walk rate and 26.5 percent strikeout rate. 24-year-old prospect Carlos Rodriguez has been hitting well at Triple-A and could be summoned to the majors to replace Fairchild. Jarred Kelenic is also a candidate to re-join the big league squad. However, it's worth noting that while Fairchild is a right-handed hitter, Rodriguez and Kelenic both on the 40-man roster are lefties.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Stuart Fairchild (finger) was forced to exit early during Thursday's Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies. He exited the contest after suffering a dislocated finger while sliding into second base on a steal attempt in the fourth inning. Despite that, Fairchild is reportedly available as a pinch-runner for the night cap of this doubleheader. It was initially believed that Fairchild suffered a broken finger, although it's still possible he'll land on the injured list with his dislocated digit. The 29-year-old has struggled with the bat in a bench role, as he's slashing .182/.250/.273 in 21 games with the Braves.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Stuart Fairchild (finger), who made the start in right field for Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies, appeared to suffer a broken finger on his right hand when he was thrown out at second base on a stolen-base attempt in the fourth inning. Fairchild went 1-for-1 in the contest with a walk before being replaced in right field by Ronald Acuna Jr., who was resting in Game 1 of the twin bill. The injury didn't look good at all, but it's unclear exactly what is wrong with it. At the very least, the 29-year-old reserve outfielder probably won't be available for Friday's series opener against the Boston Red Sox, and there's a good chance he might need a stint on the injured list. Fairchild came into Thursday's double dip sporting a .156 average (5-for-32) with two RBI and two steals in 20 games played for Atlanta.

The Atlanta Braves acquired outfielder Stuart Fairchild from the Cincinnati Reds on Monday in exchange for cash considerations, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Justin Toscano. In a corresponding move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Fairchild, the team moved right-handed reliever Joe Jimenez (knee) to the 60-day injured list. Fairchild will head to the National League East to serve as outfield depth for the Braves after they learned on Monday that left fielder Jurickson Profar is being suspended for 80 games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. While Bryan De La Cruz should become Atlanta's primary left fielder for the time being, the 29-year-old Fairchild could also see some playing time there. He's mostly a glove-first player, though, as he's slashed only .224/.308/.389 with 18 homers, 66 RBI and 23 steals in 249 games over four MLB seasons.

The Cincinnati Reds designated outfielder Stuart Fairchild for assignment on Wednesday, per The Cincinnati Enquirer's Charlie Goldsmith. Even with Austin Hays (calf) opening the year on the injured list, Fairchild is the odd man out in Cincy's outfield to begin the year after both Blake Dunn and Jacob Hurtubise made the Opening Day roster. The move comes after Fairchild hit just .132 (5-for-38) with two doubles, two RBI, two stolen bases and 13 strikeouts in 45 plate appearances over 21 Cactus League games this spring. The 29-year-old also hit just .215/.286/.368 with a .654 OPS, eight home runs, 30 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 94 games in 2024 in his second full season with the team. He has been a below-average hitter in his four MLB seasons, but he does have speed and can play pretty much anywhere in the outfield, so he should attract interest from outfield-needy teams on waivers.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Stuart Fairchild (thumb) made another start in center field on Wednesday in a Cactus League game against the Los Angeles Angels. It's Fairchild's third game of the spring -- he went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in his first two contests -- since having surgery on his right thumb late last season. The 28-year-old appears to be a full-go this spring as he competes for a platoon role in Cincy's outfield in 2025. In 94 games in 2024 in his second season with the Reds, Fairchild hit just .215/.286/.368 with a career-high eight home runs, 30 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 33 runs scored in 233 trips to the plate. With no minor-league options left, he's a good bet to be on the team's Opening Day roster in a reserve role. In his time in the big leagues, he's been a below-average hitter with poor plate discipline. His glove is his strength for the Reds.
