He was returned to New Hampshire on August 12. In total for 2015, Fields played in 121 games and hit .262 with two home runs, 33 RBI, and 46 stolen bases.[3] Fields was invited to Major League spring training on January 12, 2016,[4] and reassigned to minor league camp on March 12.[5] He was assigned to New Hampshire to open the 2016 minor league season.[6] In 130 games for the Fisher Cats, Fields hit .227 with four home runs, 32 RBI, and 44 stolen bases.[3] Fields played in 119 games in 2017, mostly with Buffalo, and hit .283 with 34 RBI and 50 stolen bases.[3] On January 24, 2018, the Blue Jays invited Fields to spring training.[7] He played 100 games with the Bisons in 2018, batting .238 with two home runs, 27 RBI, and 25 stolen bases.[3] Fields returned to the Bisons in 2019, appearing in 99 games with a .254 average, two home runs, 22 RBI, and 16 stolen bases.[3]
