Nats decline options for Kendrick, Eaton, Sánchez, Thames

The Washington Nationals have declined 2021 club options on right fielder Adam Eaton and right-handed starter Aníbal Sánchez

OCTOBER 28, 2020 • Associated Press

Nationals decline options for Adam Eaton, Howie Kendrick, Aníbal Sánchez and Eric Thames All four veterans are officially free agents as the MLB offseason begins.

OCTOBER 28, 2020 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM

Bound for open market The Nationals declined Eaton's (finger) $10.5 million team option for 2021 on Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Eaton will still receive $1.5 million as part of a buyout, and the Nationals' decision to decline his option won't preclude the team from potentially re-signing him on a lower-cost deal. Whether he returns to Washington or heads elsewhere, Eaton likely won't be in store for a major payday on the open market after he slashed a meager .226/.285/.384 across 176 plate appearances in 2020 before missing the final two weeks of the season with a fractured left index finger. The finger injury aside, the 31-year-old was at least able to stay relatively healthy the past two seasons after injuries derailed the first half of his tenure with Washington.

Placed on injured list Eaton was placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left index finger Thursday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Eaton suffered his finger injury on a bunt attempt in the second inning Wednesday, and he should miss the remainder of the regular season as a result. Michael Taylor should see the majority of the playing time in right field to finish the season. Brock Holt was reinstated from the paternity list in a corresponding move.

Exits with bruised finger Eaton left Wednesday's game against the Rays with a bruised finger, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Eaton suffered the injury on a bunt attempt in the second inning, though he didn't exit until the fifth. The Nationals have an off day Thursday, so it's possible he'll be ready to go Friday against the Marlins. The team will assess him Thursday, though with the season slipping away, they may decide to be cautious and give him extra time to heal.

On base three times in loss Eaton went 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.

Impact Despite a sore back that kept him out of the starting lineup Saturday, Eaton has two of his three steals on the season in the last two days. The veteran outfielder is having a disappointing campaign overall, however, slashing .235/.295/.399 with four homers, 17 RBI and 22 runs in 39 games.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2020 • Associated Press

Rejoins lineup Sunday Eaton (back) is starting in right field and batting leadoff Sunday against the Braves.

Impact The 31-year-old was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to back spasms, but it never appears to have been a serious issue as he appeared as a pinch hitter and remained in the game defensively. Eaton is 5-for-14 with one home run, two doubles, five runs, two RBI and one stolen base over his past four games.

Atlanta visits Washington, looks to build on Anderson's strong showing

Atlanta looks to follow up a dominant outing by Saturday starter Ian Anderson

SEPTEMBER 13, 2020 • Associated Press

Dealing with back spasms Eaton was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Braves due to back spasms, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, as the 31-year-old entered as a pinch hitter and remained in the game defensively, going 1-for-1 with a run, a walk and a stolen base. The Nationals could keep Eaton on the bench again Sunday if they want to take advantage of Monday's scheduled off day for some extra rest for Eaton, but he shouldn't miss much, if any, time beyond that.

Removed from lineup Eaton was removed from Saturday's lineup against Atlanta for an undisclosed reason.

Impact Asdrubal Cabrera will enter the lineup at third base while Yadiel Hernandez takes over in right field. It's unclear if Eaton's absence is related to an injury or if he'll miss any additional time.
