Edward Olivares Stats

Kansas City Royals outfielder Edward Olivares went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the team's 9-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. The home run was his third of the year and his second over his last three games. Olivares has fluctuated between Triple-A and the majors a few times this year, but he should be up with the Royals for good now that Jorge Soler has found a new home. He's off to a hot start to August, going 4-for-11 with the aforementioned two home runs as well as a stolen base through three games. He's worth keeping an eye on, but as long as he remains buried in the Royals lineup, there's no need to add him in any fantasy league.

The Kansas City Royals recalled outfielder Edward Olivares on Saturday. Infielder Lucius Fox is being optioned to the team's taxi squad in a corresponding move. Olivares has had multiple stints in the majors so far this year. He's played in a total of 11 games for the Royals this year and has slashed .242/.265/.333 with one home run and one stolen base. The 25-year-old Olivares will likely make a few starts per week while he is up. He'll be in the mix to help fill-in for Jorge Soler, who was traded to the Atlanta Braves prior to this week's trade deadline.
