Eaton went 2-for-3 with one run scored and one steal in Wednesday's victory over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton has recorded a steal in five straight games with a .400 average over 15 at-bats. The 25-year-old rookie has also turned in four multi-hit performances in his last 13 games.

Eaton went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton has started three straight games at third base, and he's been in the lineup for four in a row. The 25-year-old has provided a speed boost at the bottom of the order, logging a stolen base in each of his last four games, putting him at nine thefts for the year. He's added a respectable .253/.326/.373 slash line with a home run, seven RBI and 11 runs scored. Eaton's playing time is likely to come at the expense of Nicky Lopez, as both provide versatility and speed without much power.

Eaton went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton has stolen a base in each of the last two games. The 25-year-old's playing time could soon dry up, as Drew Waters (ankle) and Edward Olivares (quadriceps) are both healthy and candidates to see time in right field. Eaton can play around the outfield and also started Saturday's game at third base, so there's some versatility, but he'll have to keep his bat hot to keep getting chances. He's slashing .257/316/.386 with seven steals through his first 30 major-league contests.

Eaton went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton was on the bench for the Royals' last two games after starting four of the previous five. He was able to snap an 0-for-6 skid and picked up his sixth stolen base of the year in this contest. The rookie outfielder has added one home run, six RBI, eight runs scored and a .242/.307/.379 slash line through 75 plate appearances, though it's likely he remains a part-time player. He could see a short-term increase in usage with Drew Waters (ankle) considered day-to-day.

Eaton went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton drew the start in right field for just the second time in seven September games, with fellow rookie Drew Waters shifting over to center. Eaton was able to draw a leadoff walk and add a steal in the seventh inning, notching his fifth theft in as many attempts through 23 big-league games. The outfielder has added one home run, five RBI, six runs scored, two doubles and two triples while slashing .245/.311/.415 through 61 plate appearances. He doesn't have an everyday role yet, so he's mostly just a speed option off the bench.

Eaton went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton entered the game as a pinch hitter for Kyle Isbel in the seventh inning and struck out. In the ninth, Eaton singled and stole second with one out, but he was left on base. The rookie outfielder has provided a boost of speed in a part-time role -- his steal was his fourth of the year in just 22 games, and two in his last two contests. He's added a .255/.310/.431 slash line with one home run, five RBI, six runs scored, two triples and two doubles through 58 plate appearances.

Eaton went 4-for-5 with a triple, a double, a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 12-2 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton made a huge impact in the blowout win, falling just a home run shy of the cycle. Saturday marked his first start since rejoining the Royals as a September call-up. He's slashing .245/.304/.429 with five extra-base hits, three steals, five RBI and six runs scored through 56 plate appearances. The rookie outfielder will be on the bench for Sunday's series finale in Detroit, which could happen with some regularity as the Royals evaluate numerous outfield prospects over the last month-plus of the season.

The Royals recalled Eaton from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After being optioned to Omaha a week and a half ago, Eaton will get the chance to rejoin Kansas City as one of its two September call-ups. Across his two stints in the big leagues this season, Eaton has produced a .573 OPS and has contributed two steals in 51 plate appearances. He has the ability to play all three outfield spots and has also dabbled at shortstop and third base at Triple-A this season, so he should provide the Royals with a useful pinch-running option or late-inning defensive replacement off the bench.

Eaton was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Monday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton will head back to Omaha after he produced a .188 average with two extra-base hits, an RBI, four runs and a stolen base over 32 at-bats in 15 games after he got called up Aug. 4. His demotion opened a roster spot for Drew Waters, who's expected to make his major-league debut Monday.

Eaton is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton will head to the bench after going 1-for-10 with a stolen base, a walk and six strikeouts while picking up starts out of the corner outfield in each of the past three contests. His opportunities are likely to become more scarce in the coming days, when Hunter Dozier (personal) is set to return from the paternity list.
