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.

Fairchild went 0-for-2 with a stolen base in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, Fairchild reached on a fielder's choice in the second inning and promptly got himself into scoring position with his first steal of the season. Jarred Kelenic pinch hit for him in the seventh inning once southpaw Jesus Luzardo was out of the game for the Phillies. The 29-year-old Fairchild has gone 1-for-7 with a triple and a run scored in four appearances since being picked up to bolster Atlanta's depleted outfield at the end of March.

Fairchild is starting in right field and batting seventh against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild will make his 2025 debut with Atlanta on Wednesday after being acquired from the Reds on Monday. With Ronald Acuna (knee) on the IL and Jurickson Profar suspended 80 games for violating MLB's policy on performance-enhancing substances, Fairchild could see semi-regular starts in the outfield corners. The 29-year-old appeared in 94 games for Cincinnati in 2024 and slashed .215/.286/.368 with 13 stolen bases, eight home runs and 30 RBI across 233 plate appearances.

Atlanta acquired Fairchild from the Reds on Monday in exchange for cash considerations, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild had been designated for assignment and will now join a new 40-man roster. The 29-year-old is a career .224/.308/.389 hitter over parts of four big-league seasos. He is out of minor-league options, so Fairchild will report to the major-league club.

The Reds designated Fairchild for assignment Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction was fully expected, as the Reds informed Jacob Hurtubise and Blake Dunn on Wednesday that they had won out over Fairchild in the competition for the two available reserve outfield spots on the Opening Day roster. Fairchild didn't have any minor-league options remaining, so the Reds will have to move him off the 40-man roster and risk losing him to waivers.
