Eaton left Thursday's loss to the Phillies after jamming his knee on first base in the fifth inning, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton was running out a sacrifice bunt when he jammed his knee and was later replaced by Michael Taylor. It is not yet clear if the outfielder will be forced to miss any time beyond Thursday, so for the time being he can be considered day-to-day.

Eaton is leading off and starting in right field Thursday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals are switching up the lineup a little in hopes of getting a runner on base ahead of Trea Turner and Juan Soto. Eaton had been locked into the No. 2 spot in the order until Aug. 28, when he was dropped down to the No. 5 and No. 6 spots, where he has been hitting over the last week.

Eaton went 2-for-4 with two doubles in Monday's loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Unfortunately for the Nats, the four batters around him in the order went a combined 1-for-16, so Eaton's two-baggers went to waste. The veteran outfielder is showing faint signs of life at the plate -- over his last nine games, Eaton's gone 10-for-39 (.256) with six extra-base hits (three doubles, a triple and two homers) -- but his .237/.291/.398 slash line on the year remains well below expectations.

Eaton went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Monday's loss to Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton singled home a run in the fifth inning, and he cut his team's deficit in half with a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth. Through 23 contests this season, he's hitting .239 with eight extra-base hits, 12 RBI and a stolen base.

Eaton isn't in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton went just 2-for-12 with two runs and one RBI over the past three games, and he'll take a breather for the team's first game Saturday. Michael Taylor will start in right field, batting ninth.

Eaton is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

He has hit safely in four straight games, batting .353 with four runs and two RBI over that stretch. Michael Taylor will start in right field and bat eighth.

Eaton sits for the first time this season Monday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton hits the bench against southpaw Steven Matz, but there's no indication that he'll regularly sit against lefties going forward. Josh Harrison will be the right fielder in his absence.

Eaton went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton made the most out of Washington's only hit of the night against Gerrit Cole, blasting a 406-foot shot to right field in the first inning. The 31-year-old is not known for his power, though he did slug a career-high 15 homers last season.
