Fairchild will start in center field and bat fifth Sunday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild will pick up a third consecutive start in place of TJ Friedl, who is nursing a mild oblique strain and could be forced to the injured list. The right-handed-hitting Fairchild typically serves as a short-side platoon option when Cincinnati is at full strength, but he held his own while drawing starts the previous two days against right-handers Eury Perez and Sandy Alcantara, going 3-for-8 with two runs, an RBI and a stolen base between those contests.

Fairchild isn't starting Friday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
After going hitless in each of his last two games, Fairchild will get a day off Friday. Henry Ramos will instead serve as the Reds' right fielder, moving Tyler Stephenson into the DH spot and allowing Luke Maile to start behind the dish while batting ninth.

Fairchild will start in left field and bat third in Monday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild will stick in the starting nine for a fourth straight game after going 3-for-9 with a pair of doubles during the Reds' series with the Athletics over the weekend, though it's worth noting that Cincinnati is facing a lefty starting pitcher (Blake Snell) for the third straight game. TJ Friedl, Jake Fraley and Nick Senzel are expected to remain the Reds' preferred starting outfield versus right-handed pitching more often than not.

Fairchild will start in left field and batting second Monday versus the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
He's getting his sixth start of the season, with all six having come against left-handed pitching. While Fairchild's usage thus far suggests his playing time will likely be sparse, he's usually occupying a fruitful spot in the lineup on the occasions he does start. Fairchild has gone 2-for-5 with his lone home run of the season in his limited opportunities versus right-handed pitching, compared to a 3-for-17 mark with the platoon advantage in his favor.

Fairchild was recalled Thursday from Triple-A Louisville.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild was optioned to the minors on March 20, but he wound up making the Opening Day roster in Cincinnati after all. The 27-year-old is currently positioned as a backup outfielder, though he could force his way into meaningful playing time with some timely hits in the early going.

Fairchild has a good chance of making the Opening Day roster, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild was optioned to Triple-A on March 20, but that doesn't mean the Reds can't recall the outfielder before the season begins Thursday for the club. The outfielder appears likely to be on the roster after the Reds reassigned Henry Ramos to minor-league camp. Fairchild will be a bench option for Cincinnati without fantasy value to begin -- and likely end --the 2023 season.

The Reds optioned Fairchild to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild hit well in a 38-game sample for the Reds last season and also had a solid spring at the plate, but he won't be part of the Opening Day roster. The 27-year-old should factor into Cincinnati's outfield mix at some point this season.

Fairchild is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild will take a seat Monday while he remains in the midst of a slump, as he's gone 1-for-16 over his last five games. T.J. Friedl and Jake Fraley look to be secure in everyday roles in the Cincinnati outfield, and despite his recent rough patch, Fairchild still looks to be ahead of Aristides Aquino for the remaining spot in the outfield in most games.

Fairchild isn't starting Friday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild has gone 0-for-9 with a strikeout over the last three games, and he'll retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three matchups. Mike Siani will start in center field and bat seventh.

Fairchild is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Fairchild seemingly took over the center field job recently from Jake Fraley, but he heads to the bench in this one. Mike Siani, who did not have an overly impressive season in the minors (.750 OPS) and is 0-for-6 with three strikeouts in the majors, will get the start in center field.
