The Red Sox optioned Eaton to Triple-A Worcester on Monday. Eaton was up with the big club for just one day and went unused off the bench in Sunday's 3-1 win over Atlanta. The 28-year-old infielder/outfielder will retain his spot on the 40-man roster but will head back to the minors as the Red Sox make room on the 26-man active roster for infielder Romy Gonzalez (quadriceps), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Returns to Worcester
The Red Sox optioned Eaton to Triple-A Worcester on Monday. Eaton was up with the big club for just one day and went unused off the bench in Sunday's 3-1 win over Atlanta. The 28-year-old infielder/outfielder will retain his spot on the 40-man roster but will head back to the minors as the Red Sox make room on the 26-man active roster for infielder Romy Gonzalez (quadriceps), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.
Gets call to big leagues
The Red Sox selected Eaton's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. Eaton will return to the big leagues for the first time since 2023, when he appeared in 28 games with the Royals. The 28-year-old had been handling an everyday role at Worcester and slashed .277/.364/.446 with five home runs and four stolen bases over 225 plate appearances, but he's unlikely to be anything more than a short-side platoon player while he's up with Boston. Eaton will provide the Red Sox with some speed and versatility off the bench, as he's made starts at all three outfield spots as well as three infield positions (second base, third base and shortstop) at Triple-A this season.
Slated to join big club
The Red Sox are expected to promote Eaton from Triple-A Worcester, Chris Henrique of the Boston Sports Journal reports. Eaton signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox in November after spending the entire 2024 season in Triple-A. He is slashing .277/.364/.446 with four steals, five home runs and 27 RBI across 225 plate appearances with Worcester this season. Eaton's next appearance in a Red Sox uniform will mark his first major-league outing since June of 2023 with the Royals.
Latches on with BoSox
Eaton signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Wednesday and received an invitation to spring training, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports. Eaton spent the entirety of last season with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate, where he slashed .252/.299/.439 with 16 homers and 59 RBI across 460 plate appearances. A career .201 hitter in the majors, Eaton is unlikely to break camp with the big-league squad and will presumably spend most of the year at Triple-A Worcester.
