Guardians Add Stuart Fairchild as Righty Outfield Depth on Minor League Deal

Cleveland signed Fairchild to a minor league deal with a spring invite. The 30-year-old owns a .232/.316/.403 line (94 wRC+) in 223 MLB games, plus 23 steals, and he’s best vs lefties (.256/.354/.424; 114 wRC+). After brief 2025 stints with the Braves and Tampa Bay Rays, he gives the Guardians a right-handed option after losing Lane Thomas.
