Stuart Fairchild

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

He finished with only three at-bats, as the platoon option was pinch-hit for by Chase DeLauter late in the loss. No fantasy value here, just thought we’d give Fairchild his due as the rest of the Guardians mustered only one hit combined against Carlos Rodón.

Fairchild was hitting .289/.417/.479 in 176 plate appearances at Columbus after a nice WBC with Chinese Taipei. He could figure in as a short-side platoon bat for the Guardians with Daniel Schneeman handling the strong side while Steven Kwan is on the bereavement list.

Chinese Taipei scored its automatic runner with two bunts in the top of the 10th. Korea advanced its to third with one sac bunt, but the runner was thrown out at home on Hyeseong Kim’s non-bunt grounder to first, and Do Yeong Kim flew out to end the game afterwards. Chinese Taipei, which also got homers from Yu Chang and Tsung-Che Cheng, finishes 2-2 in Pool C play to keep itself alive for now. It needs to hope that Korea and Japan both beat Australia, which would result in three 2-2 teams behind Japan in the standings. One of Chinese Taipei, Korea and Australia would then advance by claiming the tiebreaker.

This game ended after seven due to the mercy rule. Chinese Taipei also for four RBI from Yu Chang and three from Chen-Wei Chen for its first win through three games. The club will need to beat Korea on Sunday to have any chance of moving on from pool play.

Fairchild fortifies Cleveland’s outfield depth and will compete for a bench role in spring training. The well-traveled 29-year-old defensive specialist got into 28 games this past season for the Braves, batting .216 (11-for-51) with two steals across 55 plate appearances. He’s gotten into 277 games at the highest level dating back to 2021.
