Up from Tacoma The Mariners selected Fairchild's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Impact Fairchild will join the active roster as a replacement for Luke Raley, who landed on the injured list Saturday with an elbow injury. Fairchild has gone just 3-for-19 with an RBI, three runs and two steals in the majors this season, but he's slashed .262/.415/.643 across 53 plate appearances since joining Tacoma on July 10.

Lands in Seattle Fairchild signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Sunday.

Impact Fairchild elected free agency Friday after being outrighted off Cleveland's 40-man roster, and it didn't take long for him to find another home. He'll begin his tenure with the Mariners in the Arizona Complex League, but he'll likely end up landing in Triple-A, where he slashed .289/.417/.479 across 176 plate appearances while in the Guardians' farm system.

Elects free agency Fairchild cleared waivers Friday and elected free agency, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 30-year-old outfielder lost his place on Cleveland's 40-man roster last Friday to make room for Cooper Ingle, and Fairchild will now explore his options in the open market after passing through waivers. He's put up just a .565 OPS in 27 plate appearances in the majors this season, but his .289/.417/.479 slash line at Triple-A should be enough for him to attract a minor-league deal easily.

Booted from 40-man roster The Guardians designated Fairchild for assignment Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cleveland needed the spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters for prospect Cooper Ingle, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move. Fairchild took 27 plate appearances with the Guardians, but he struck out 14 times and recorded just three singles and seven walks.

Steals base in loss Fairchild entered Sunday's game as a pinch hitter working a walk and stealing a base in a 2-1 loss to the Astros. He finished the game in right field.

Impact Fairchild pinch hit for Steven Kwan against a left-handed reliver in the seventh and stole his second base since joining the Guardians late in May. The right-handed batter started just twice over the last seven contests -- both against southpaws -- and hasn't seen much of an uptick in playing time following the injuries to Chase DeLauter (ribs) and Angel Martinez (foot). Fairchild is likely to start against left-handers and serve as pinch hitter later in games.

Moves around outfield in win Fairchild started in center field and went 2-for-2 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 win over Detroit. He was also hit by a pitch.

Impact Fairchild has been used sparingly since his contract was selected from Triple-A Columbus at the end of May. He had to move mid-game Saturday, from center to right field, when Chase DeLauter (ribs) was removed. Later, Angel Martinez (foot) made an early exit. Pending the statuses of DeLauter and Martinez, Fairchild could see an uptick in playing time.

Impact Fairchild saw his first game action in the majors since being called up Friday after Steven Kwan was placed on the bereavement list. Martinez underwent an MRI following Saturday's game and more should be learned about his status Sunday. If Martinez is forced to miss time, the right-handed hitting Fairchild or the lefty-hitting Petey Halpin are the expected fill-ins.

Joining Cleveland roster The Guardians selected Fairchild's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Steven Kwan going on the bereavement list, it opened a spot in the outfield for Fairchild, who has been swinging a hot bat at the Triple-A level this season. He's slashing .289/.417/.479 with five homers, 15 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a 26:32 BB:K across 176 trips to the plate. Fairchild figures to see most of his chances against left-handed pitching with Cleveland.

Playing at Triple-A Fairchild is batting .333 (6-for-18) with four walks, a double, two home runs, two RBI and five runs scored over five games for Triple-A Columbus.

Impact The 30-year-old Fairchild was unsuccessful in his bid to earn a roster spot with the Guardians and accepted a position with the club's Triple-A affiliate. He's appeared in all but one game for the Clippers and is an experienced major leaguer should the need arise in Cleveland.

Bound for Triple-A Fairchild is expected to open the regular season at Triple-A Columbus, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fairchild, who was in camp as a non-roster invitee, appears to have lost out on his bid for a roster spot to Angel Martinez, who raked (1.196 OPS) this spring. The 30-year-old Fairchild has an upward mobility clause in his contract; if another team wants to add him to their 26-man or 40-man roster, the Guardians would have to decide whether they would match the proposition for part ways. Fairchild can play all three outfield spots and could be of value to another club.
