Eaton went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton's hitting has been spotty lately -- he's 3-for-18 (.167) with a walk and eight strikeouts across his last eight games. He's picked up both of his steals this season in that span, but that's hardly enough to convince manager Mike Matheny to increase the rookie outfielder's playing time. Eaton is hitting .205 through 15 contests and should remain a short-side platoon option as well as a speed threat off the bench.

Eaton went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-3 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton has gone 5-for-15 with a double, a triple, an RBI and four runs scored through seven contests since his second call-up this year. He's finding most of his playing time in right field so far, though Kyle Isbel and Hunter Dozier have also picked up playing time there in the last week. A right-handed hitter, Eaton should see regular starts versus southpaws, especially with the lefty-heavy Dodgers in town for a three-game weekend series.
