Stuart Fairchild competing for outfield role despite slow start

Stuart Fairchild (thumb) has gone 0-for-5 with a strikeout through his first two Cactus League games but remains in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
Fairchild missed the final month of the 2024 season due to a right thumb sprain that required surgery, but he appears fully healthy this spring. All three of his starts have come in center field, and he is competing for a short-side platoon role in the Reds' outfield. His lack of minor league options could work in his favor as he battles for a spot on the Opening Day roster.
