Eaton (knee/hamstring) is starting in right field and batting second Friday at Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton is out of Wednesday's lineup due to a bruised knee and some hamstring tightness, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton apparently sustained his bruised knee while running into the wall in Thursday's win over the Tigers, and manager Tony La Russa revealed Wednesday that the outfielder is also sitting out due to a hamstring issue. Eaton had been in the lineup in each of the last four contests and went hitless with a walk and nine strikeouts in 13 at-bats during that time.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton will head to the bench for the day game after a night game, allowing Billy Hamilton to pick up a start in the outfield. The 32-year-old's return to Chicago has been far from a successful one through the first month and change of the season, with Eaton supplying a meager .211/.299/.368 slash line and a career-worst 25 percent strikeout rate across 108 plate appearances. He's been able to prop up his fantasy value to some degree through volume, as he's racked up 18 RBI and 16 runs through 25 games.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton has eight RBI over the last seven games, raising his season total to 18, tied for fifth in MLB.
