After Stuart Fairchild was designated for assignment by the Atlanta Braves, it felt like there was a small chance he could reunite with the Cincinnati Reds.

However, on Tuesday, Fairchild was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

The Reds traded Fairchild to the Braves for cash considerations in March.

The 29-year-old slashed .216/.273/.333 in 28 games for the Braves. He got just 51 at-bats and had five extra-base hits and two stolen bases.
