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 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.

Fairchild batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 in Monday's 7-0 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild hit atop the order for the second time this season. That job normally belongs to Jonathan India, but he's missed the last two games due to an illness. Fairchild is typically in the lineup against left-handers, against whom he has an .890 OPS. Against righties, he's 1-for-18 (.056).

Fairchild went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild stole his fifth base in five attempts in what has been a part-time role to start the season. He should continue to be a lineup regular against left-handers until TJ Friedl (wrist) is ready to play. Friedl recently had a checkup and needs another week to 10 days, pushing his return into the first half of May.

Fairchild started in right field and went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 10-8 win over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild was originally scheduled to start in center field and bat fifth, but he was moved to right field and leadoff following a pregame injury to Jonathan India (leg), the Reds' normal leadoff hitter. The injury to India is not believed to be significant, so the leadoff role may be short-lived. Fairchild is 6-for-19 with three walks and four steals over seven games. He'll continue to see enhanced opportunities while TJ Friedl (wrist) remains idle.

Fairchild went 2-for-2 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Pinch hitting for designated hitter Nick Martini, Fairchild singled in a run, then stole second base as part of a double steal. He remained in the game at DH and later had a bunt single and scored on a sacrifice fly as part of the Reds' five-run eighth inning that erased New York's lead. The righty-swinging Fairchild, who is 5-for-13 with three steals through five games, will likely be part of Sunday's starting lineup against southpaw Sean Manaea.
