First homer as Royal Olivares went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer against the White Sox on Sunday.

Impact Olivares took Steve Cishek deep in the seventh inning to record his second home run of the season and his first since joining the Royals as part of a trade deadline deal, though he had multi-hit efforts in both of his previous two starts with the club. Olivares should get plenty of chances to play in the outfield to close the season, giving him the opportunity to showcase both his power and speed.

Sent to alternate camp Olivares was optioned to San Diego's alternate camp site Wednesday.

Impact Olivares has struggled across 13 appearances for the Padres this season, slashing .176/.222/.194 with one home run and a 2:14 BB:K. He'll remain on the team's taxi squad for the time being. Michel Baez was recalled in a corresponding move.

Blasts first homer of season Olivares went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's win over Arizona.

Impact The three runs scored by the Padres in this game came through solo home runs, and Olivares' bomb was the nail in the coffin for San Diego in this low-scoring win. This was Olivares' first long ball of the season but, as a part-time player, he might not have a lot of fantasy value outside of the deepest formats.

Continues to ride bench Olivares remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Olivares had seen a fair amount of playing time in right field to begin the year, but he'll be on the bench for a fourth consecutive game Wednesday. Wil Myers will shift to right field with Greg Garcia starting as the designated hitter and batting seventh.

Sits for third straight Olivares remains on the bench Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Olivares had started three times in a span of four games last week but has now been on the bench for three straight. He's gone just 4-for-17 at the plate this season.

Sitting again Monday Olivares isn't in the lineup Monday against the Dodgers.

Impact Olivares has seen a fair share of playing time in right field to begin the season, but he'll play a bench role for the third time in the past four games. Wil Myers will start in right field with Abraham Almonte serving as the designated hitter and batting seventh.

AUGUST 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Playing time picks up Olivares is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Rather than leaning on the struggling Josh Naylor as its primary designated hitter, San Diego has deployed a rotation of players at that spot, including outfielders Wil Myers and Tommy Pham. That's allowed Olivares to start three of the past four games in the outfield, but he'll be relegated to the bench in the series finale in Colorado since an infielder (Manny Machado) is serving as the DH on Sunday.

Reaches base three times Olivares went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday in the Padres' 7-6 loss to the Giants.

Impact With Tommy Pham moving to designated hitter and Josh Naylor getting the day off, Olivares was able to pick up his third start of the season and took advantage. The rookie is off to a 4-for-9 start to his big-league career and could be in store for more regular action if the Padres elect to phase out Naylor, who has slashed a lackluster .244/.310/.395 (86 wRC+) over his 284 MLB plate appearances to date.

Notches first stolen base Wednesday Myers went 1-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in a loss to San Francisco on Wednesday.

Impact Myers helped generate a run in the fourth inning when he led off by reaching base on a HBP, stole second with two outs, and came around to score on Edward Olivares' single. The 29-year-old Myers has already hit a pair of home runs this season, and given his history as a base stealer -- Myers has racked up double-digit thefts each of the last four campaigns -- he could outperform his ADP in fantasy leagues if he is able to maintain a tolerable batting average.

Machado, Myers homer to back Lamet as Padres beat Dbacks 5-1

JULY 26, 2020 • Associated Press

Doubles in MLB debut Olivares went 1-for-3 with a walk and a double in the Padres' 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Impact The 24-year-old played right field and hit seventh for the Padres in his big-league debut. He was picked off and caught stealing second base in the sixth inning. Olivares was successful on 35 of 45 attempts at Double-A Amarillo last season and had a .283/.349/.453 line to go with those 35 steals, so he would seem to have some upside if Wil Myers ends up DH'ing more than expected.

Makes cut for 30-man roster Olivares is included on the Padres' Opening Day roster.

Impact Olivares had been trending toward a roster spot after strong performances in both spring training and summer camp, and San Diego rewarded his impressive play by including him on the active roster. The 24-year-old could get a fair amount of playing time this season, especially if the team uses him in a semi-platoon with Trent Grisham.
