Swipes bag Tuesday Olivares went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the White Sox.
Impact Olivares has gone 3-for-7 in his last two games, which coincides with him taking on a larger role. The 25-year-old is up to two stolen bases in as many attempts this year. He should remain in the lineup most of the time as long as he hits reasonably well, while Jarrod Dyson could also challenge for playing time in right field.

Clubs second homer Olivares went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Toronto.
Impact The 25-year-old was the only Royal to produce multiple hits Sunday. Olivares is up to two homers, three RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base through 39 plate appearances. He figures to get a chance as the everyday right fielder after Jorge Soler was traded to Atlanta.

Takes over in right field Olivares will start in right field and bat eighth Sunday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Olivares was limited to a bench role in Saturday's 4-0 loss after being recalled from Triple-A Omaha earlier that day, but he should take over as the Royals' primary right fielder following the recent trade that sent Jorge Soler to Atlanta. Jarrod Dyson had started the past two games in right field, but given that he's a 36-year-old on an expiring deal along with the fact that he'll be on the bench Sunday versus a righty (Jose Berrios), the 45-58 Royals are likely more motivated to get a longer look at the 25-year-old Olivares. While he has yet to dazzle over multiple abbreviated stints in the big leagues the past two seasons, Olivares has been impressive at Omaha in 2021, slashing .322/.395/.572 with 13 home runs and 12 steals across 233 plate appearances.

Recalled by Kansas City Olivares was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Saturday, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact Olivares returned to the minors in early July, and he slashed .243/.325/.527 with five home runs, a triple, four doubles, 14 runs, eight RBI and a stolen base in 19 games since then. The 25-year-old has recorded 13 home runs and 12 stolen bases across 52 minor-league games this year and will attempt to carve out playing time after Jorge Soler was traded to Atlanta on Friday.

Optioned to Triple-A The Royals optioned Olivares to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.
Impact The 25-year-old's fourth stint on the big-league roster in 2021 comes to an end, as the Royals needed room to reinstate Andrew Benintendi (ribs) from the injured list. After going 1-for-3 with a homer Saturday, Olivares is hitting .242 in 33 big-league at-bats this year, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him recalled again at some point this season.

Socks two-run shot Olivares went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over Minnesota.
Impact Olivares' playing time has been sporadic, but he made his presence felt in this game with a two-run bomb off Griffin Jax in the fourth inning. This was his first homer of the campaign, and while that was a nice thing to see, he isn't providing much across most fantasy formats with a .242/.265/.333 slash line across 34 plate appearances in 11 games.

Steals base Monday Olivares went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 7-3 win over the Pirates.
Impact Olivares got the start again Monday and managed to get on twice while stealing the first base of his young career. The 25-year-old has notched three singles, been hit by a pitch, stolen a bag and scored twice in his first eight plate appearances of the season. Olivares could be a regular in the lineup for now, as Jorge Soler has been dealing with right groin discomfort since leaving Saturday's game against the Twins.
