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.

Fairchild (neck) isn't in the Reds' lineup Saturday against Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Neck stiffness caused Fairchild to be scratched late ahead of Friday's contest, and it will keep him out of at least one more game Saturday. Nick Senzel, TJ Friedl and Will Benson will make up the Reds' outfield from left to right while Fairchild continues to recover.

Fairchild (neck) was removed from the lineup ahead of Friday's matchup with the Astros, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild is dealing with neck stiffness and after he was initially set to start in right field, Will Benson will take over in the outfield and bat sixth Friday. Fairchild can be considered day-to-day for the time being and the Reds will likely provide an update on his status following the series opener with Houston.
