The Atlanta Braves are in a bit of a skid again. After their tough loss to the Pirates on Tuesday evening, the Braves have lost three games in a row, and are just 2.5 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies for first place in the NL East.
On Tuesday, the Braves received some roster transaction news on a recent player, who spent some time with Atlanta last season.

During the 2025 MLB season, Stuart Fairchild spent some time with the Atlanta Braves. He batted .216 in 51 at-bats with the team, and had four doubles (2 RBI), and an OPS+ of 70.
His career OPS+ (over 610 at-bats) is 86 with 18 HR, 33 doubles, and 69 RBI.
Aside from the Braves and Guardians, Fairchild has also played for the Reds, Arizona Diamondbacks, San Francisco Giants, and Seattle Mariners, so it’s actually somewhat of a reunion deal for Fairchild.

Looking at the Braves Right Now
Looking at the Atlanta Braves right now, they might be in serious trouble. After losing three straight, their struggles have prolonged into July, and with these being the dog days of the MLB season, it’s not a great sign that their pitching staff is totally shot.
Atlanta is still holding onto a division lead, but its fate might be sealed if the Braves do not get a starting pitcher at the MLB trade deadline.
Among other things, the infield could use a left-side upgrade, and the Braves desperately need Ronald Acuña Jr. back ASAP.
