Reds' Stuart Fairchild: Sent to Triple-A

The Reds optioned Fairchild to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Fairchild hit well in a 38-game sample for the Reds last season and also had a solid spring at the plate, but he won't be part of the Opening Day roster. The 27-year-old should factor into Cincinnati's outfield mix at some point this season.
