Player Stats

Blue Jays sent CF Stuart Fairchild outright to Triple-A Tacoma.

The 30-year-old veteran can refuse the assignment if he likes. Fairchild went unclaimed on DFA waivers and will likely surface in either Tacoma or a different Triple-A city for the next few weeks.

Mariners designated OF Stuart Fairchild for assignment.

Fairchild’s stint with the Mariners is over after appearing in just one game with the club. The 30-year-old journeyman figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and remain at Triple-A Tacoma as emergency organizational depth to close out the year.

SEA Right Fielder #17

Mariners selected the contract of OF Stuart Fairchild from Triple-A Tacoma.

Fairchild, 30, has spent the bulk of the season at the Triple-A level where he has slashed .290/.416/.520 with 11 homers, 37 RBI and 17 stolen bases over 311 plate appearances. He’ll add outfield depth with Victor Robles heading to the family medical emergency list.

SEA Right Fielder #17

Mariners re-signed OF Stuart Fairchild to a minor league contract.

Fairchild spent three days with the Mariners but didn’t an at-bat before being DFA’d on Tuesday. He’s back with the organization now after being outrighted.

SEA Right Fielder #17

Mariners sent OF Stuart Fairchild outright to Triple-A Tacoma.

Fairchild was designated for assignment on Tuesday and passed through waivers unclaimed. It remains to be seen if he’ll accept the outright assignment or opt to peddle his wares on the open market once again instead.

Mariners designated OF Stuart Fairchild for assignment.

Fairchild went 0-for-1 at the dish during his lone game for the Mariners. The 30-year-old journeyman figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and elect free agency.

SEA Right Fielder #17

Mariners selected the contract of OF Stuart Fairchild from Triple-A Tacoma.

Fairchild gets his chance in Seattle with Luke Raley hitting the shelf with a forearm strain. The well-traveled 30-year-old signed a minor league deal with the Mariners last month after going 3-for-19 at the dish during a 14-game stint with the Guardians earlier this season. He’ll occupy a bench role.

SEA Right Fielder #17

Mariners signed OF Stuart Fairchild to a minor league contract.

Fairchild didn’t take long to find a new opportunity after being removed from Cleveland’s 40-man roster last week. The 30-year-old reserve outfielder went 3-for-19 at the dish during a 14-game stint with the Guardians last month. He’s merely emergency organizational depth at this juncture of his career.

CLE Right Fielder #17

Guardians sent OF Stuart Fairchild outright to Triple-A Columbus.

Fairchild was designated for assignment last weekend and passed through waivers unclaimed. Unless he opts to hit the open market, he’ll continue to function as extra outfield depth for the Guardians at the Triple-A level.
Stuart Fairchild

CLE Right Fielder #17

Guardians designated OF Stuart Fairchild for assignment.

Fairchild loses his spot after going 3-for-19 with no extra-base base in 14 games. 21 of his 27 plate appearances ended with a walk (seven) or a strikeout (14). It seems unlikely that he’ll be picked up on waivers.
Steven Kwan

CLE Center Fielder #38

Steven Kwan is out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Tigers.

No surprise as Kwan will be spared from having to face Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. That honor goes to Stuart Fairchild instead. The 28-year-old has put together an abysmal season overall, but he went 2-for-4 with an RBI during Friday’s series opener and is hitting .281 (9-for-32) in nine games since returning from bereavement leave earlier this month.

Ryan Weathers (forearm) will throw a live bullpen session Friday.

Weathers will get a chance to face Giancarlo Stanton (calves) and Trent Grisham (hamstring) in that session. The left-hander has not faced hitters since suffering his flexor strain near the end of August. He could be an option for the postseason, but there are no guarantees.

Anthony Volpe is making his first major league start at third and batting seventh against the Orioles in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader.

The Yankees could have played José Caballero at third and Volpe at second with Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ryan McMahon sitting against a lefty, but they want to see if Volpe can serve as an alternative to McMahon in the postseason. It’s just kind of weird that they’ve waited this long to do it.

Mickey Gasper is behind the plate for the first game of Friday’s doubleheader against the Cubs.

Adley Rutschman is DHing. It’s Gasper’s 14th start at catcher this year, as he gets the nod over usual backup Connor Wong. Wong still might catch game two if the Red Sox want to give Rutschman a break after starting five straight games at catcher.

Yankees optioned RHP Luis Gil to the FCL Yankees.

Gil walked four and allowed an unearned run on his own error in two hitless innings against the Rays on Thursday. Although he’s just two years removed from winning AL Rookie of the Year honors, it’s quite possible that Thursday’s outing will wind up being Gil’s swansong with the Yankees. He has a 4.61 ERA and a 17/18 K/BB in 27 1/3 major league innings this season.

Yankees optioned RHP Bradley Hanner to the FCL Yankees.

Hanner’s reward for pitching two scoreless innings and getting a win Thursday against the Rays isn’t a very nice one. He has an 8.59 ERA in 7 1/3 innings this season, and while there’s a slim chance he could be activated at some point during the postseason, he’s probably going to be removed from the Yankees’ 40-man roster in the offseason.
