The Rays placed Fairchild on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a right oblique strain.
EDGE Analysis
Tampa Bay acquired Fairchild in a trade with Atlanta on Tuesday, but he'll now have to wait until August to make his Rays debut after being shelved with the injury. The Rays recalled utility man Coco Montes from Triple-A Durham to fill the open spot on the big club's bench.

The Rays acquired Fairchild from Atlanta on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild had been designated for assignment Monday and will now head to a new club. The right-handed-hitting outfielder has a career .746 OPS against left-handed pitching and could see some starts versus southpaws.

Atlanta designated Fairchild for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to Sandy Leon, who was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to give Atlanta some extra coverage behind the plate with manager Brian Snitker having frequently deployed backstops Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy at either catcher or designated hitter in recent lineups. Since he returned from a stint on the injured list June 16, Fairchild had picked up just four starts. The veteran outfielder has struggled overall in his limited opportunities this season, slashing .216/.273/.333 over 55 plate appearances.

Atlanta activated Fairchild (finger) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild had been shelved since late May with a dislocated pinky finger but is ready to roll after going 5-for-12 in three rehab contests. He will see occasional playing time in the outfield against left-handed pitching.

Fairchild (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild went on the 10-day injured list two weeks ago with a dislocated pinky finger but has been cleared to play in rehab games. Since his absence has been brief, the outfielder shouldn't require too many rehab at-bats before being activated.

Atlanta placed Fairchild (finger) on the 10-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild suffered a dislocated pinky finger during Thursday's doubleheader, so this move to the injured list is hardly a surprise. Jose Azocar was added to the big-league roster to bolster Atlanta's outfield depth.

Fairchild exited Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies due to a dislocated pinky, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite injuring his finger on a steal attempt Thursday afternoon, Fairchild is reportedly still available to serve as a pinch runner during the nightcap -- likely while wearing a sliding mitt this time. The 29-year-old has appeared in 21 games for Atlanta this season and owns a .182/.250/.273 slash line through 36 plate appearances.

Fairchild was removed from the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Phillies after suffering an apparent finger injury on his right hand, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports. He went 1-for-1 with a walk prior to departing.
EDGE Analysis
Making a start in right field in place of a resting Ronald Acuna, Fairchild was pulled from the contest after he seemingly injured himself while sliding into second base on a steal attempt in the fourth inning. The team hasn't provided an official update on the severity of his injury just yet, but more details will likely come at some point during Thursday's twin bill.

Fairchild went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and two runs scored during Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild reached safely in three of his four plate appearances and accounted for three of Atlanta's four runs scored. He plated Michael Harris in the third inning with a double before coming around to score on a throwing error. Wednesday's game snapped Fairchild's lengthy hitting slump, as he came into the contest just 1-for-20 on the year.
