The outfielder has added five home runs, 12 RBI, 27 runs scored, 10 doubles and four triples over 209 plate appearances.

Impact The Royals put up 15 hits as a team, with Olivares leading the way with his quartet of singles. He's gone 10-for-21 (.476) during his five-game hitting streak, but he oddly hasn't produced an RBI in that span. His hot bat has solidified his place in the lineup while raising his slash line to .261/.323/.449 with five home runs, six stolen bases, 12 RBI and 27 runs scored through 52 games.

Impact Olivares had gone 15 games between successful thefts, though he was caught stealing Sunday.

He's hit well in June, going 8-for-25 (.320) with five extra-base hits over eight contests, lifting his season slash line to .246/.311/.437 with five home runs and 12 RBI over 50 contests. With Vinnie Pasquantino's shoulder injury sending Nick Pratto back to first base, Olivares should have the edge over Dairon Blanco for a starting job in left field.

Smacks homer in loss Olivares went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Rockies.

Impact Olivares got the Royals on the board in the second inning with his second homer in his last three games. The outfielder's seen a slight uptick in playing time while going 6-for-21 (.286) over his last seven contests. He's up to five homers, 12 RBI, 23 runs scored and five stolen bases while slashing .234/.297/.414 through 158 plate appearances this season. Olivares is a fixture in the lineup versus southpaws, but he'll need to hit reasonably well to keep his place versus righties.

Heads to bench Monday Olivares is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Even though Olivares came up big in Sunday's 3-2 win with a game-tying 452-foot home run that damaged the scoreboard at Kauffman Stadium, he won't be rewarded with a second consecutive start as the Royals open a series with St. Louis. Olivares still looks to be the Royals' preferred option in left field, though his playing time may be less consistent than some of Kansas City's other lineup regulars.

The 27-year-old struggled badly over the first half of May with just three hits over 10 games but has picked it up some with now five hits over as many games. Olivares seems to be picking up more of a regular role once again for the time being and is now slashing .232/.297/.394 with four homers, 11 RBI, 22 runs and a 9:27 BB:K over 155 plate appearances.
