Eaton went 1-for-3 with three walks and three runs scored in Wednesday's rout of Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder's patience was on full display, helping set the table for a 14-run outburst by the Nats. Eaton's slashing .273/.396/.432 over his last 12 games with two homers, four RBI and nine runs, and with Washington's offense catching fire, his upside in the latter category remains excellent.

Eaton went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

He took Pablo Lopez deep in the first inning to get the Nats on the board and start the ball rolling on a 12-run outburst by the Washington offense. Eaton's got five homers on the year but two have come in the last three days, pushing his slash line to .272/.339/.391.

Eaton went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

He took Jacob deGrom deep in the first inning, and that was the only run the Nats could muster on the night. Eaton's slashing .269/.336/.378 through 48 games with four homers, five steals, 12 RBI and 26 runs, but it's the fact that he's stayed healthy after suiting up for only 118 games over the prior two seasons that's been the most impressive thing about his campaign so far.

Eaton went 2-for-4 and scored a run Sunday in the Nationals' 6-5 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton concluded the weekend with a pair of two-hit performances, boosting his season average to .280. As has typically been the case for much of his career, however, Eaton isn't hitting for much power. His .099 ISO actually represents his worst showing in the category in any of his eight seasons in the big leagues.

Eaton is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton has been in the starting lineup for 17 consecutive games but has struggled with a .239/.297/.373 slash line with two home runs in 67 at-bats. Michael Tayler enters the lineup in center field as Victor Robles shifts over to cover right field.

Eaton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

His seventh-inning shot off Alex Claudio broke a 2-2 tie and briefly put Max Scherzer in position for the win, but the Nats' beleaguered bullpen promptly gave up a two-spot in the bottom half of the frame. Eaton's now slashing .297/.355/.420 through 33 games with three homers, four steals, 11 RBI and 21 runs, and for once he's been one of the healthier members of the Washington roster.

Eaton will start in right field and bat third Sunday against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Juan Soto (back) and Matt Adams (shoulder) joining Anthony Rendon (elbow) and Ryan Zimmerman (foot) on the injured list this weekend, the Nationals are left without much thump in the heart of the lineup. As a result, Eaton will shift down in the order into more of a run-producing role while Victor Robles sets the table. The Nationals should get some relief when Rendon returns from the IL, likely Tuesday in Milwaukee. Eaton could move back atop the order at that point.

Eaton is not starting Sunday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder sits for just the second time this season. Michael Taylor enters the lineup in center field, pushing Victor Robles out to right.

Eaton went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder has hit safely in eight straight games, boosting his slash line to .314/.385/.395 through 20 contests with a homer, four steals, six RBI and 15 runs. Eaton should remain locked into the leadoff spot for the Nats at least until Trea Turner (finger) is back in action, giving him a solid fantasy floor despite his lack of power.

Eaton is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton entered the season with major durability concerns, but his health has held up thus far and he's been exceptional as the Nats' leadoff man, slashing .319/.397/.406 with three steals through the club's first 16 games. He'll sit for the first time all season with the Nationals playing a day game after a night game, opening up the top spot in the order for Victor Robles.
