Braves' Stuart Fairchild: Traded to Atlanta

Atlanta acquired Fairchild from the Reds on Monday in exchange for cash considerations, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Fairchild had been designated for assignment and will now join a new 40-man roster. The 29-year-old is a career .224/.308/.389 hitter over parts of four big-league seasons. He is out of minor-league options, so Fairchild will report to the major-league club.
