Stuart Fairchild reportedly is headed back up to MLB, as his contract has been selected by the Seattle Mariners .
MLBTR.com's Darragh McDonald wrote (about Fairchild):
"Fairchild got a very brief stint on Seattle's roster earlier this year. He entered one game as a pinch runner and scored a run but then was designated for assignment shortly thereafter. He cleared waivers and elected free agency but then re-signed with Seattle on a minor league deal, which allowed the club to add him to the roster today."
In 2026, Fairchild has appeared in 15 total games, and over 19 at-bats, he has three hits.
