Fairchild started in center field and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild got the start in center field, as TJ Friedl (hamstring) was held out. With a left-hander on the mound for Pittsburgh, there's a chance Fairchild could have started as the DH. Friedl hurt himself during Monday's game when he made a diving catch and was removed from the contest. Reds manager David Bell told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com that Friedl could get back in the lineup this weekend. As such, Fairchild could get another start Wednesday before the Reds return home for a weekend series against Boston beginning Friday.

Fairchild batted leadoff and went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds hadn't faced a left-handed starter the previous six games, which meant Fairchild was limited to a pinch-hit role over the last week. He singled in a run in the second inning and later stole his sixth base. Fairchild was eventually pinch hit for by Will Benson in the sixth inning when the Cubs brought a right-hander into the game. Fairchild is limited mostly to work against left-handers and is slashing .317/.411/.492 off them.

Fairchild went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-6 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild, who bopped one of three Cincinnati home runs, led off the fifth inning with his fourth long ball of the season. The outfielder is usually in the lineup against lefties, against whom he has a .949 OPS. Overall, he has an unappealing line of .226/.308/.387.

Fairchild went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild has driven in a run in each of his last three games. All three of his homers this season have come since April 30, though his playing time remains sporadic as a short-side platoon option all around the outfield. He's slashing a mediocre .213/.292/.350 with 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, five stolen bases and two doubles over 90 plate appearances in 2024.

Fairchild isn't in the Reds' lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild has gone 3-for-16 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored since the beginning of May. He will sit on the bench for the third game in a row Thursday while Conner Capel, Will Benson and Jake Fraley man the outfield.

Fairchild isn't in the Reds' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild has turned in one hit -- a solo home run -- and walked three times across his last five games, and he'll now take a seat against Slade Cecconi and the D-backs. Jacob Hurtubise, Will Benson and Jake Fraley will start across the Reds' outfield Tuesday while Conner Capel serves as the DH.

Fairchild hit an inside-the-park home run in his lone at-bat in Friday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild pinch hit for Jake Fraley in the eighth inning and delivered an insurance run. It was just Fairchild's second homer of the campaign, both of which have come in May. The outfielder is slashing .197/.260/.296 with eight RBI, eight runs scored, five stolen bases and a double through 78 plate appearances this season. Fairchild remains the Reds' fourth outfielder, primarily drawing into the lineup versus southpaws.

Fairchild is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild started the past four games but will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-10 with a solo homer and five strikeouts. Will Benson will shift to center field while Jake Fraley starts in right.

Fairchild went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild took Enyel De Los Santos deep to center in the seventh to bring the Reds within two runs. It was his first home run of the year, first hit since April 22, and first RBI since he had two on April 20. The 28-year-old has not been overly productive when given the chance to be in the lineup, as he's slashing .200/.273/.267 with six RBI, seven runs, five steals and a 5:12 BB:K in 67 plate appearances.

Fairchild is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild will retreat to the bench for the series finale with the Phillies after he had started in each of the Reds' past three games while going 1-for-11 with a walk and a run scored. Though Jake Fraley (illness) remains out of the lineup Thursday, the Reds are seemingly optimistic that he'll be back in action at some point during the weekend series versus the Rangers. Once Fraley returns, Fairchild's opportunities will likely be limited mostly to playing against left-handed starting pitchers.
