Gets call to big leagues
The Red Sox selected Eaton's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Eaton will return to the big leagues for the first time since 2023, when he appeared in 28 games with the Royals. The 28-year-old had been handling an everyday role at Worcester and slashed .277/.364/.446 with five home runs and four stolen bases over 225 plate appearances, but he's unlikely to be anything more than a short-side platoon player while he's up with Boston. Eaton will provide the Red Sox with some speed and versatility off the bench, as he's made starts at all three outfield spots as well as three infield positions (second base, third base and shortstop) at Triple-A this season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
With 11 steals in 44 major-league games, Eaton's speed is the most interesting thing about him. Where he plays in the Royals' defensive structure is yet to be determined, but his .264/.331/.387 slash line across 122 plate appearances last year would suggest he deserves a longer look in a relatively uninspiring lineup if he can repeat it. A natural outfielder, he'd probably be best suited to challenge Edward Olivares in right field or push MJ Melendez from left field to catcher to begin 2023. Eaton's also played on the left side of the infield -- third base is likely up for grabs. He hit 13 home runs and added 23 steals in 91 minor-league contests last year, but his power didn't come up from Triple-A when he became a regular for the Royals late in the season. His 24.6 percent strikeout rate and 8.6 walk rate in the majors are already passable, so Eaton looks like he could have some sleeper potential in fantasy as a reliable source of speed.

Making case for next year
Eaton has swiped five bags, in addition to hitting .381, across his past seven games.
ANALYSIS
Eaton has recorded a .274/.344/.393 slash line through 96 at-bats with Kansas City this season. He has also stolen 10 bases. The 25-year-old slashed a similarly encouraging .285/.358/.465 at Triple-A this season, and his late activity on the basepaths could put him in the Royals' outfield plans for 2023.
