Eaton has been scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Braves, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder is apparently dealing with a left ankle bone bruise, according to Jamal Collier of MLB.com, so Brian Goodwin will take his place in the lineup, starting in left field and batting leadoff. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but the injury is to the same ankle that was giving him trouble earlier in the season (though that was due to loose scar tissue). Consider him day-to-day for now.

Eaton is not in the Nationals' lineup Monday against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton had been dealing with a minor ankle injury, causing him to miss Thursday and Saturday's contests, though he was able to return Sunday. The Nationals appear to be easing him back from the injury, as there haven't been any reports of a setback. Unless there's been an unreported issue, expect Eaton to resume his everyday role soon.

Eaton (ankle) is starting in left field and hitting leadoff Sunday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

There had been hopes that Eaton would be able to return to action Sunday after being held out of Saturday's lineup to nurse an ankle injury. That will indeed be the case, as Eaton will look to continue his hot start to the season. Over seven games, he's gone 10-for-23 (.435) with two home runs and three doubles.

Eaton (ankle) said that he felt "great" and is hopeful to play in Sunday's series finale against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton was expectedly held out of Saturday's lineup after suffering an ankle injury during Thursday's loss. The outfielder went on to say that he will ultimately defer to manager Davey Martinez and the Nationals' training staff regarding his availability this weekend, but his optimism implies that a disabled stint is unlikely. Consider him day-to-day.

Eaton (ankle) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mets, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is dealing with loose scar tissue in his left ankle, and while the last report suggested he would not need a stint on the disabled list, we can't rule that out just yet. Brian Goodwin will get the stat in left field, batting seventh.

Eaton has some loose scar tissue in his left ankle which is causing him discomfort, and he's not expected to need a stint on the disabled list, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports. "I don't know all the technical jazz that goes along with it, but I think a little tweak, a little scar tissue decided to come up during that [slide]. But they don't think anything major," Eaton said after Thursday's game. "It's like a day or so for it to realign itself and be good."

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder was injured on an awkward slide at home plate in the third inning, but he was able to remain in the game until the sixth after he had a little difficulty tracking back on Michael Conforto's solo home run to left field. Eaton thinks he should be able to return to action Saturday, but if the weather isn't cooperating he could remain on the bench until Sunday or even Monday.

Eaton was removed from Thursday's game due to a left ankle injury, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The speedy outfielder apparently tweaked his ankle on an awkward slide into home plate. X-rays on the area came back negative, so the Nationals don't expect him to miss too much time. However, it is the same ankle that was injured when he tore his ACL last season, so the team may still proceed with caution. Consider Eaton day-to-day for the time being. Brian Goodwin will likely see extra playing time in the meantime.

Eaton was removed from Thursday's game against the Mets after the fifth inning, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

No word has come forth as to whether or not an injury is in play here, though reporters noted that Eaton did slide into home plate awkwardly earlier in the game. He also appeared to step oddly while chasing Michael Conforto's home run, suggesting something is actually hampering him. A firmer diagnosis should come forth once team doctors get a chance to examine him.

Eaton is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton has gotten off to a red hot start to the season, collecting eight hits across the first three games, but he'll get his first breather of the season Monday as the Nationals look to keep him fresh early on. Trea Turner will occupy the leadoff spot in his absence, while Howie Kendrick will slide to left field for the game.

Eaton went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

His two-run shot in the seventh inning off Yovani Gallardo ended up supplying crucial insurance runs for Washington, as Cincinnati scored four times in the final two frames. Eaton is now a ridiculous 8-for-13 to begin the season with two doubles, two homers, five RBI and seven runs scored, and it looks like he's in for a big fantasy campaign hitting at the top of a potent Nats lineup.
