Boston recalled Eaton from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

1w agoRotowire

In a stint with the big-league club from mid-June to mid-July earlier this season, Eaton slashed just .125/.282/.281 with one homer, five RBI and two stolen bases over 14 games. He's been a bit better in the minors, posting a .756 OPS across 363 plate appearances while swiping 19 bags for Worcester. Eaton's call-up is a corresponding move to Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps) being placed on the 10-day IL.

The Red Sox optioned Eaton to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Jul 14Rotowire

Since going 3-for-4 with two doubles June 23 in Colorado, Eaton has been mired in an 0-for-20 slump and will make his way off the major-league roster. Jahmai Jones was acquired from the Tigers to round out the Red Sox's bench unit.

Eaton will begin serving a two-game suspension Tuesday, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.

Jul 7Rotowire

Major League Baseball initially issued Eaton a three-game ban for his role in the bench-clearing altercation between the Red Sox and Nationals last Tuesday, but his suspension has been cut down to two games following an appeal. He'll be eligible to return for Thursday's series finale against the White Sox.

Eaton will appeal the three-game suspension he received Thursday and will be eligible to play until the appeal process is completed, Evan Drellich of The Athletic reports.

Jul 3Rotowire

MLB issued bans for Eaton and teammate Willson Contreras (seven games) along with Washington pitchers Cade Cavalli (seven games) and Miles Mikolas (five games) for their roles in a benches-clearing incident that occurred Tuesday. Eaton's suspension was set to begin Friday, but the utility player will remain active for the time being.

Eaton received a three-game suspension Thursday for his actions during a benches-clearing incident Tuesday against the Nationals, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports

Jul 2Rotowire

The benches-clearing incident was sparked when Cade Cavalli struck out Willson Contreras. Contreras got a seven-game suspension while Cavalli received a seven-game ban and Miles Mikolas five games on the Nationals' side. Unless Eaton appeals the ban, he won't be able to play until July 7.
