Edward Olivares Stats

Kansas City Royals outfielder Edward Olivares has been recalled from Triple-A Omaha after the team placed shortstop Adalberto Mondesi on the injured list. Olivares was recalled last weekend for a quick cup of coffee and picked up four hits over 11 at-bats before being sent back down. He should be up for a little longer this time around. He's starting in right field and batting sixth against Bailey Ober and the Twins on Sunday. Olivares is worth keeping eyes on but shouldn't be prioritized in fantasy outside of deeper AL-only leagues.

The Kansas City Royals called up outfielder Edward Olivares from Triple-A prior to Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Olivares had a strong offensive showing in his 2021 debut on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a run. The 25-year-old made his MLB debut last year with the San Diego Padres and was traded to the Royals mid-season. Over 31 games split between the Padres and Royals last year, he slashed .240/.267/.375 with three home runs and 10 RBI. He batted sixth in the lineup on Sunday and will likely remain in or around that spot during any starts he makes going forward. He's worth monitoring for deep league managers, but can be left on waivers in all leagues at this point.

Kansas City Royals outfielder Edward Olivares has only had 12 at-bats so far this spring, but he's made the most of them. He's gone 3-for-12 with two doubles and a home run. Olivares, who turned 25 this month, was acquired by the Royals in the 2020 trade that sent Trevor Rosenthal to the San Diego Padres. Olivares made his MLB debut with the Padres last year. Over 31 games with the Padres and Royals, he slashed .240/.267/.375 with three home runs, 10 RBI and nine runs. He could be a strong power/speed asset for fantasy at some point in the future. He stole 35 bases at Double-A in 2019. However, he'll need to earn more significant playing time first. Right now, he projects to be one of the Royals' reserve outfielders.
