Heads back to Triple-A The Royals returned Eaton to Triple-A Omaha following Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Since Eaton joined the Royals as a replacement for one of the 10 players who were placed on the restricted list prior to Thursday's series opener in Toronto, he won't be exposed to waivers even while he comes off the 40-man roster as he heads back to Omaha. Eaton started in center field in each of the Royals' four games following his call-up, going 2-for-12 with a solo home run and an additional RBI.

Homers in debut Eaton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Eaton gave the Royals some insurance with his ninth-inning blast, which was his first major-league hit and homer. The outfielder got the start in center field since the Royals are missing 10 players, including many of their regular outfielders, due to their unvaccinated status preventing them from playing in Canada. Eaton should get a chance to play regularly this weekend before heading back to Triple-A Omaha, where he's slashed .329/.388/.591 in 39 contests after earning a midseason promotion from Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

Called up for MLB debut Eaton had his contract selected by the Royals and will start in center field and bat seventh Thursday versus the Blue Jays.

Impact The Royals have 10 players on the restricted list that cannot enter Canada due to their vaccination statuses, and Eaton will benefit with his first taste of the majors during the four-game set in Toronto. The 25-year-old opened the season at Double-A Northwester Arkansas but was promoted to Triple-A Omaha, and he's performed well in the highest level of the minors with a .329/.388/.591 slash line, nine home runs, 25 RBI and seven stolen bases in 39 games.
