The Diamondbacks designated Fairchild for assignment Tuesday, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arizona removed Fairchild from the 40-man roster to clear a spot for reliever Jacob Webb, whom the Diamondbacks claimed off waivers from Atlanta in a corresponding move. After failing to win a spot on the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder, Fairchild had gotten off to a slow start at Triple-A Reno to begin the season, hitting .162 while striking out in 34.9 percent of his plate appearances.

Fairchild was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild had been with the Triple-A club for nearly two weeks after he was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list, and he hit .280 with a triple, a double, four runs, an RBI and a stolen base across eight games. He's hit .091 across 10 major-league games this year and will serve in a depth role for Arizona.

Fairchild (undisclosed) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list and optioned to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild landed on the COVID-19 injured list July 30 but recently appeared in two rehab games with the Diamondbacks' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate. He went 2-for-6 with a double, a run and two strikeouts during that time and will remain in the minors now that he's cleared the league's health and safety protocols. While the Diamondbacks don't currently have room for him on the active roster, Fairchild will presumably be one of the top options to fill in if the team requires additional outfield depth.

Fairchild (undisclosed) took three at-bats in a simulated game Friday at the Diamondbacks' training complex.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild is working his way back after a stint on the COVID-19 protocols list. The 25-year-old outfielder should resume a fifth outfielder role once he's ready to rejoin the team.

Fairchild was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear whether Fairchild has tested positive for the virus or whether he's considered a close contact, but he was one of several players who landed on the injured list Friday. He'll be eligible to rejoin the team as soon as he clears the league's health and safety protocols.

Fairchild started in center field and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 9-3 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild was called up earlier this week and is making his first tour at the major-league level. Thursday was his third appearance and first start in the show. The eventual return of Ketel Marte (hamstring) will add another blocker to playing time for Fairchild.

Fairchild was called up from Triple-A Reno prior to Tuesday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild returned from a hamstring injury in late June after missing over a month. He's performed excellently at the plate since being activated from Reno's injured list, going 11-for-26 with five homers and 13 RBI. He'll look to carry that hot streak with him to Arizona, where he could make his major-league debut in the coming days.

Triple-A Reno activated Fairchild (hamstring) from the 7-day injured list Saturday. He's played in three games for the affiliate since then, going 4-for-11 with two home runs, a double, two walks, seven RBI and three runs.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild hasn't needed any time to shake off the rust after a hamstring strain kept him on the shelf for more than five weeks. The 25-year-old outfielder has been excellent over his 13 games with Reno this season, posting a .915 OPS while striking out in only 14.5 percent of his 55 plate appearances.
