Eaton is starting in center field and hitting fifth for Boston as the club faces the Yankees and lefty Carlos Rodón in the Bronx.

| 8/17/25 | Red Sox Utility Stud On Fire In Triple-A; Promotion Could Follow. Boston Red Sox utility man Nate Eaton is proving that he's too talented for the minors. The 28-year-old is now slashing .321/ .407/ .557/ .963 OPS in 123 plate appearances with Triple-A Worcester Red Sox. PitcherList's Griffey Geiss provided additional Eaton stats on Sunday night that revealed his Triple-A dominance. Eaton can play virtually anywhere defensively, and he has enough MLB games under his belt at this point (86) that a late-season promotion wouldn't rattle his temperament.

Third baseman Nate Eaton is leading off against lefty Garrett Parker, marking the first time all season he has done so.

| 6/22/25 | Red Sox lineup: Facing LHP, lineup juggled; Nate Eaton gets start at 3B. SAN FRANCISCO — As he promised to do recently, Alex Cora has shuffled the Red Sox lineup as the team faces a lefthanded starter. With Robby Ray on the mound for the Giants, Rob Refsnyder is leading off and Jarren Duran has been dropped to fifth. Cora said last week there would be adjustments — including taking Duran out of the top spot in the order — to achieve better left-right balance. Sunday will also mark the first time Nate Eaton is part of the starting lineup. He's playing third base as Marcelo Mayer gets a day off from the lefty. Additionally, Romy Gonzalez is getting a rate start at second base.

The Red Sox on Monday reinstated Romy González from the 10-day injured list ahead of their series against the Los Angeles Angels at Fenway Park.

The 28-year-old González played two rehab games with Triple-A Worcester before being reinstated. Eaton, who was called up Sunday, did not appear in a game. González batted .308 (16-for-52) with six doubles in 17 games for the Red Sox this season. He made 10 starts at first base and one each at second and third base.

| 4/12/25 | How Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer Made Most Of WooSox Snow-Out. Boston Red Sox prospect Marcelo Mayer already had his 2024 opener snowed out. Now, another game in his minor-league career fell victim to a spring snowstorm. The Worcester Red Sox postponed Saturday's game against the Columbus Clippers due to overnight snow at Polar Park. Mayer embraced the time at the park before the postponement to build a snowman with teammate Nate Eaton. You can check out Mayer's snowman here . Not bad for a Californian. Mayer hit .220 in his first 10 games this season with Triple-A Worcester. He slugged a pair of home runs and drove in nine runs in that span.

Especially when the wind is blowing out in the desert. The Guardians flexed their home-run muscle on Saturday afternoon at Goodyear Ballpark. The team that finished last in the big leagues in home runs last year hit five homers, but it wasn't enough as Kansas City scored four times in the ninth inning for a 13-12 victory. The Guardians had a 12-9 lead entering the ninth, but Nate Eaton's two-run homer with two out off Juan Zapata brought the Royals all the way back. It was Kansas City's only homer among its 16 hits.

| 8/28/23 | Game 133 Thread: Pirates vs. Royals. In the offseason, I got so desperate for new ideas that I made myself a game that I will continue this offseason: I made a random search in Getty Images and wrote about the player in the first result. Hey, it's as good of a process as any. Nate Eaton popped up and I wrote about him. Unfortunately, the most you can say about Eaton this year is that he pitched one stellar inning out of the bullpen. So today, I searched “pirate royal” in Getty and un-selected the “Getty Sports” filter. I got what you now see here in the featured image. You're welcome, I guess? In any case, it's Greinke Day at the K. Pirates Game 1 from KC.

Wicks surrendered four hits and walked one while striking out five. The one run came on a fourth-inning solo home run by Nate Eaton. The win went to Chris Clarke, since Iowa's bats didn't get into gear until after Wicks left. Source: https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2023/8/10/23828139... |
| 6/16/23 | Game thread LXIX. The big news ahead of tonight's game is that the Royals have made yet another of the moves Royals twitterdom has been begging for for several weeks. Nate Eaton was demoted and Samad Taylor receives his first promotion to the big leagues. Taylor was excellent in AAA this season with a 123 wRC+ thanks in part to a .304 batting average, a .409 OBP, and 24 extra-base hits in 62 games. He's also stolen 34 bases, third across the entirety of AAA, and played defense all over both the infield and outfield. That said, it does not appear Taylor will be making his debut tonight as he failed to crack the starting lineup even after Michael Massey was scratched with a finger laceration.

| 4/08/23 | Pérez, Royals score 5 unanswered runs to stun Giants 6-5. Salvador Pérez hit a tying, three-run homer in the eighth inning and Nate Eaton scored on a wild pitch in the ninth as the Kansas City Royals rallied past the San Francisco Giants 6-5 on Saturday. Eaton pinch-ran for Vinnie Pasquantino, who led off the ninth with a double off Giants closer Camilo Doval. Eaton advanced to third on a ground out by Hunter Dozier and sprinted to the plate on a wild pitch by Doval (0-1), barely beating the tag by catcher Blake Sabol with a head-first slide.
