Rave went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Houston.
Rave opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the fourth inning. The 28-year-old has seen more action in right field this season, but he patrolled center field in favor of the light-hitting Kyle Isbel on Wednesday. In 131 plate appearances, Rave is slashing .219/.310/.447 with six homers, 13 RBI, 22 runs and seven stolen bases.

Rave went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Rave generated a run with his speed in the second inning, stealing third and forcing a throwing error that bought him the time to score. The outfielder has hit safely in all six of his games in September, going 6-for-20 (.300) with three extra-base hits this month. Rave has been getting a boost in playing time while Jac Caglianone (elbow) is banged up and would benefit further if an IL stint is deemed necessary. Rave is hitting .233 with a .763 OPS, six steals, five home runs, 11 RBI, 20 runs scored, six doubles and one triple over 116 plate appearances this season.

Rave went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Diamondbacks.
With the Royals down to their final out in the ninth inning, Rave clubbed a two-run homer to send the game to extra innings. The 28-year-old has seen his playing time tick up a bit of late with Jac Caglianone on the bench due to a Grade 1 left flexor strain. On the year, Rave is hitting .230/.306/.460 with five homers, 11 RBI, 19 runs and five stolen bases in 113 plate appearances.

Rave went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two additional runs scored, two steals and a walk in Sunday's 11-7 win over the Tigers.
Rave was a notable contributor in the win, blasting a two-run homer in the fifth inning and swiping two bags for the first time in his career. On the year, the 28-year-old is hitting .215/.282/.462 with three homers, seven RBI, 13 runs and four stolen bases across 73 big-league plate appearances. Should Jac Caglianone (ankle) remain sidelined and require a stint on the injured list, Rave figures to see an uptick in playing time in right field.

Rave went 1-for-3 with a double and three RBI in the 9-7 win Wednesday over the Athletics.
Rave came into the game in the fifth inning as a pinch hitter for Jac Caglianone, who left the game with right ankle soreness. In the eighth inning, Rave hit a bases-clearing double off of Drew Rom to give the Royals an 8-5 lead. The 28-year-old outfielder was expected to see a decrease in playing time due to the recent return of first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (wrist) moving Caglianone back to right field. However, Rave could have an expanded role going forward if Caglianone has to miss time, though the extent of the latter's injury remains unclear.

Rave is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.
The left-handed-hitting Rave has been playing fairly regularly since being recalled from Triple-A Omaha on July 29, but he'll likely see more limited opportunities moving forward after the Royals reinstated Vinnie Pasquantino (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Monday. With Pasquantino stepping back in as the Royals' everyday first baseman, Jac Caglianone is expected to displace Rave in the strong side of a platoon in right field.
