The season was such a disaster and filled with injuries that Atlanta’s front office was tasked with plugging in and playing so many different players.
Braves fans, do you remember outfielder Stuart Fairchild?
Well, on Thursday, September 3, he was promoted to MLB by his new club.

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.
