Fairchild was removed in the top of the third inning of Sunday's game against the Blue Jays and entered the concussion protocol, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. He grounded out in his lone at-bat before exiting the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild collided with the outfield wall in the top of the second while attempting to rob a home run, and though he stayed in the game until the Reds recorded the final out of the frame, he was replaced in the field by TJ Hopkins in the next inning. Since he's still being checked out for a concussion at this stage and hasn't been diagnosed with a brain injury, Fairchild may not immediately land on the 7-day injured list until the Reds complete their evaluation. The 27-year-old has been handling a near-everyday role in the outfield of late since Jake Fraley (toe) landed on the injured list earlier this month.

Fairchild went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild's two-run shot in the fourth inning turned out to be the game-winning hit for the Reds, who stumbled through the first half of the month with an inconsistent offense that's missing Jake Fraley (toe) and Jonathan India (foot). Those two injuries have led to a spike in Fairchild's playing time during this most recent stint in the majors. His window could close soon, pending the results of Fraley's upcoming MRI (Friday) to determine the progress of his stress fracture.

Fairchild will start in center field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild has largely served as a short-side platoon bat during his multiple stints with the big club this season, but he seems to have moved into more of a full-time role in August while the Reds have been down Jake Fraley (toe) and Jonathan India (foot). He'll be included in the lineup for the seventh time in eight games, replacing the lefty-hitting TJ Friedl in center field while southpaw Logan Allen takes the hill for Cleveland. Fairchild should occupy a corner-outfield spot when the Reds oppose right-handed pitching.

Fairchild started in right field and went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Miami.

EDGE Analysis

To those watching the game, it looked like Fairchild had hit an inside-the-park home run -- he donned the celebratory Viking helmet in the dugout -- but the play was officially ruled a triple with a throwing error that allowed him to score. This was his sixth start in nine games since being recalled from Triple-A Louisville, and the outfielder is 4-for-21 with an RBI and six strikeouts. The Reds are coping with injuries to Jonathan India (foot) and Jake Fraley (toe), leading to Fairchild's recent spate of plate appearances.

Fairchild was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was sent to Louisville in early July but will rejoin the big club Sunday with Jonathan India (foot) landing on the injured list. Fairchild has a .237/.339/.404 slash line in 66 games this season, and he's unlikely to see significant playing time since Cincinnati's outfield group is currently in good health.

Fairchild was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild had just been recalled Sunday but now finds himself back in the minors. The 27-year-old is clearing out to make room on the roster for Tuesday's starter, Brett Kennedy.

Fairchild served as a pinch hitter, walked and scored a run in Sunday's 4-3 win over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild hit for the lefty-batting Jake Fraley against Padres lefty Tom Cosgrove and worked a seven-pitch walk in the bottom of the eighth inning. It turned out to be a key plate appearance, as Tyler Stephenson followed with a pinch-hit, two-run home run to give Cincinnati a lead it did not relinquish. Fairchild, who spent the first two-and-a-half months of the season in the majors, was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday after spending the last 10 days in the minors. He'll reprise a role as the Reds' fifth outfielder.

The Reds recalled Fairchild from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild will rejoin the parent club following a week-and-a-half-long stay in the minors during which he went 6-for-25 with three home runs and a triple across five games with Cincinnati. The 27-year-old will likely serve as a short-side platoon outfielder while he's up with the parent club.

Fairchild was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild will head to Louisville after spending the entirety of the 2023 campaign to this point with the Reds, producing a .237 average with four homers, 22 RBI, 25 runs and six stolen bases over 156 at-bats in 64 games. With Cincinnati's roster returning to full health recently, Fairchild slid out of the starting lineup and he'll now look to get more consistent reps in Triple-A.

Fairchild (neck) is starting in center field and batting ninth Monday versus the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Fairchild will return to the lineup after missing the last couple contests with neck stiffness. The outfielder is batting .200 with three homers, a double, seven RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases over 40 at-bats in 14 games this month. With both Nick Senzel, Jake Fraley and Joey Votto (shoulder/biceps) returning to the lineup in the past week, Fairchild could soon find it hard to crack the Reds' lineup on a consistent basis.
