Stuart Fairchild News: Booted from 40-man roster
The Guardians designated Fairchild for assignment Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Cleveland needed the spot on the 40-man roster for prospect Cooper Ingle, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move. Fairchild took 27 plate appearances with the Guardians, but he struck out 14 times and recorded just three singles and seven walks.
