Eaton was pulled from Monday's game against the Mets after just two innings, seemingly due to a knee injury, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton had missed three straight games with knee soreness before returning to the lineup Monday. His return was apparently premature, as he didn't last long before being replaced by Gerardo Parra. It's not clear how much more time he'll need to rest.

Eaton (knee) will start in right field and bat second Monday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton missed the Nationals' past three games after contending with a sore knee, which stemmed from being hit by a pitch Aug. 28 versus the Orioles. The time off appears to have been enough for Eaton to overcome the issue, so he looks like he'll be a safe fantasy play as the Nationals kick off a seven-game slate this week. Gerardo Parra returns to a bench role with Eaton back in action.

Eaton (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton was hit by a pitch in the right knee Wednesday and is out of the lineup for the third straight contest. The 30-year-old appears to have avoided a serious injury as X-rays came back negative, and he also appeared as a pinch hitter Friday, though he was pulled for a pinch runner after working a walk. Gerardo Parra receives another start in right field in his place.

Eaton (knee) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton was plunked on his right knee Wednesday, and while he walked as a pinch hitter Friday, he was lifted for a pinch runner. His X-rays were negative and an extended absence seems unlikely. Gerardo Parra is starting again in right field.

Eaton (knee) is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton exited Wednesday's contest after being hit by a pitch on the right knee, and he'll take at least one additional day to rest up after the Nationals were off Thursday. The veteran outfielder underwent X-rays after leaving the game, which came back negative. Per Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports, Eaton wanted to be in the starting nine but will instead be available off the bench. Gerardo Parra will start in right field and bat second in his place.

Eaton had X-rays on his right knee come back negative after leaving Wednesday's game versus the Orioles, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton was hit by a pitch in the right knee Wednesday and initially stayed in to run the bases, but he was pulled in favor of a pinch runner after advancing to third base. The veteran outfielder should be considered day-to-day, while the Nationals have a scheduled off day Thursday.

Eaton was removed from Wednesday's game against the Orioles after being hit by a pitch around the right knee, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton initially stayed in to run the bases, but he was replaced by Gerardo Parra after advancing to third base on Anthony Rendon's double. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the 30-year-old will have Thursday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before potentially missing additional time.

Eaton is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton started the last 10 contests and has a 1.331 OPS with five home runs and 13 RBI in that stretch, but he'll take a seat against lefty Cole Hamels. Gerardo Parra will start in right field in the series finale.

Eaton went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 9-3 victory against the Cubs on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder hit his long ball in the second at-bat of the game, and the Nationals were off and running. Eaton has smashed five homers in his last nine games, which accounts for almost half of his homer production this year. With the hot streak, he is just two homers shy of setting a new career best in the category. Eaton is batting .290 with 12 home runs, 41 RBI, 88 runs and 13 steals in 473 at-bats this season.

Eaton went 2-for-3 with two walks, a triple, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third time in the last four games Eaton has banged out multiple extra-base hits. He's slashing .358/.452/.679 through 13 games in August, while Sunday's homer was his 10th of the season -- the first time Eaton's reached double digits in that category since 2016.
