Fairchild entered Tuesday's game in the ninth inning as the left fielder and went 0-for-1 in a 7-0 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild made his first appearance since coming off the COVID-19-related injured list. Given the large deficit, Reds manager David Bell inserted several bench players during the latter innings, one of which was Fairchild who got himself acclimated to game conditions in a low-pressure setting.

Fairchild (illness) was activated from the COVID-19-related injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild was away from the Reds for a little over a week but is ready to roll now following a short rehab assignment. With Hunter Renfroe designated for assignment and Harrison Bader (groin) on the 10-day injured list, Fairchild should see regular playing time versus left-handed pitching down the stretch.

Fairchild (COVID-19) has begun a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild landed on the COVID-19 injured list last weekend but is now feeling well enough to ramp things back up in game action. He's eligible to return Saturday, but the Reds might wait until early next week when they return home to activate him.

The Reds placed Fairchild on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds' COVID-19 outbreak has primarily affected the team's pitchers up to this point, but now Fairchild will be held out at least seven days as he fights off his infection. Alejo Lopez was brought up from Triple-A Louisville as a replacement player for Fairchild.

Fairchild entered as a pinch runner, stole a base and scored a run in a 3-2 win over the Cubs in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. He went 0-for-2 as the starting left fielder in the matinee.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild was part of Cincinnati's two-run ninth inning, which allowed the Reds to avoid a sweep. He ran for Christian Encarnacion-Strand then stole second base, putting him in position to score the winning run on Noelvi Marte's walkoff single. The steal was the 10th for Fairchild, who recently returned from the concussion list. He'll continue to operate as a depth outfielder.

Fairchild is not in the lineup Tuesday at San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild just returned Monday from a 7-day stint on the concussion injured list and will likely continue to be eased back into action. Will Benson, TJ Friedl and Nick Senzel are starting across the outfield for the Reds on Tuesday against the Giants.

Fairchild (concussion) went 0-for-1 with a walk and a strikeout in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild played six innings in right field in his return from a one-week absence. He was replaced by pinch hitter Nick Martini in the seventh inning in a likely tactical move. It'll likely be a short-side platoon role for Fairchild the rest of the way, with Will Benson and Martini handling right field against right-handed pitchers until Jake Fraley (toe) comes back. Fairchild is slashing just .228/.325/.386 over 237 plate appearances this season, though he's added nine stolen bases and five home runs.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild (concussion) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis
Fairchild entered concussion protocol after banging into the outfield wall during Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays, and after further evaluation, he's been moved to the concussion list. The Reds will promote Mike Siani from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move.
