EDGE Analysis
The Nationals have given strategic off days to their top hitters over the past few days, and Eaton and Juan Soto will take a turn to sit in this one. Michael Taylor will start in right field and hit seventh.

Eaton went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, two runs scored and a walk during Monday's 7-2 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton set two career highs Monday with his 15th home run and 99th run scored. He was finally able to stay healthy for a full season with the Nationals and it's paid off with a .283/.367/.435 slash line over 632 plate appearances.

Eaton went 1-for-5 with a stolen base Tuesday in the Nationals' 6-2 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Washington had little hesitation running on Yadier Molina, with Eaton being one of four Nationals to collect steals on the night. Eaton is now up to 14 stolen bases (in 17 attempts) on the season, a somewhat surprising development for an over-30 player who had missed extensive time due to lower-body injuries the previous two years.

Eaton is back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Braves, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
This comes as a surprise after manager Dave Martinez told Byron Kerr of MASN Sports on Thursday that Eaton's injury was "going to take some time." Eaton will slot back into his usual spots in right field and the two hole in the batting order against right-hander Julio Teheran for his first start since Monday.

Eaton (knee) is not in Friday's lineup against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Byron Kerr of MASN Sports reported Thursday that Eaton's injury is more serious than a day-to-day thing, so we probably won't see him back in the lineup until sometime next week at the earliest. Michael Taylor is starting in right field and hitting eighth.

Eaton (knee) is not in the lineup Thursday against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton will head to the bench for the sixth time in seven games as he continues to deal with a bone bruise in his right knee. While manager Dave Martinez said the outfielder is doing better, he noted that it's going to take some time before he's ready to rejoin the lineup, per Byron Kerr of MASN Sports. "He's getting better. He's still sore. It's a brutal area to get hit in. It's going to take some time but he's getting better," said the skipper. Michael Taylor is starting in right field and hitting eighth in his place.

Eaton (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll sit out for the fifth time in six games while he contends with a bone bruise in his right knee, opening up right field for Gerardo Parra. The Nationals are viewing Eaton as day-to-day and could make him available as a pinch hitter in the series finale.

Eaton (knee) has been diagnosed with a deep bone bruise after undergoing an MRI on Tuesday, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton will be considered day-to-day moving forward, and he'll be available to pinch hit if called upon, per Byron Kerr of MASN Sports. Gerardo Parra should continue to see time in right field until Eaton is cleared to return to the starting nine.

Eaton (knee) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton will be held out of the second game of the series due to a knee injury, and he's expected to undergo an MRI sometime Tuesday. A timetable for his return should become more clear once his test results are evaluated. Gerardo Parra draws the start in right field and is set to bat seventh.

Eaton (knee) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton returned to the lineup Monday after missing three games with knee soreness but was lifted prior to the third inning after aggravating the issue. Manager Dave Martinez admitted he's concerned about the injury, which is toward the back of Eaton's knee rather than the side. Gerardo Parra is a candidate to see time in the outfield should Eaton be forced to miss time.
