Eaton was 3-for-4 with a HBP, a run scored, and a pair of RBI as the White Sox dismantled the Yankees on Friday night.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton has been the consummate table-setter for the red-hot White Sox, hitting .307 with a .404 OBP while hitting at the top of their productive batting order. A true spark, he'll swipe a few bases, pop an occasional home run, and score a lot of runs if he keeps this up, and he'll make his fantasy owners very happy in the process.

Eaton went 2-for-5 with a walk, triple and two runs in Monday's extra-innings win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton picked up his second triple in four days, putting him on pace to break his career-high of 10 triples from his first season in Chicago. The left-handed outfield has ideal numbers (in terms of plate discipline, contact rate and OBP) for a leadoff man, but that doesn't necessarily translate into fantasy value. His power is way down from last season's 14-homer outbreak, thus putting him back in line for a mid-30s RBI total. Eaton is a solid outfield option in most formats, but the early goings of 2016 indicate that last season's breakout performance may wind up being an outlier in his career.

Eaton went 2-for-5 with a triple and two RBI in Friday's 10-4 victory over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old leadoff man came through with his third multi-hit effort in the last four games, and recored his second three-bagger of the season in the process. After legging out a whopping 19 triples over the previous two seasons, Eaton is on pace for another banner year in that category. What he hasn't been able to duplicate as of yet in 2016 has been last season's power surge, which saw the four-year pro break out for double-digit homers (14) for the first time in his career. Despite the absence of the long ball, Eaton has largely done his job in setting the table at the top of the order, and is slashing .300/.417/.400 in his first 20 at-bats of May.

Eaton went 2-for-4 with his first home run of the season and a sacrifice fly Tuesday in Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton finished with a career-high 14 long balls last season, but it took him 20 appearances to finally get one in 2016. He does a good job of getting on base to set the table atop Chicago's order, but the 27-year-old's lack of steals from that spot and middling power limit his appeal in most formats.

Eaton raised his average to .394 by going 2-for-5 in Thursday's win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old outfield is coming off the most productive season of his career, and the only one in which he avoided the disabled list. Eaton has proven he is a top option in all formats, but especially 5x5 as he one of the better all-around players in the game. Although he has yet to launch a home run this season, Eaton definitely possesses 15-15 potential if he can stay healthy.

Eaton (personal) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton was excused from the team for a couple days following the birth of his child, but he has rejoined the White Sox and will get back on the field Monday. As he has done regularly this year, Eaton will bat leadoff and man right field Monday afternoon.

Eaton (paternity list) should return to the White Sox on Monday in Minnesota, Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton missed the White Sox two scheduled games over the weekend to be with his wife as she gave birth to the couple's son. Sunday's game wound up postponed due to inclement weather, so Eaton only missed one contest. The new father should be back in center and atop the lineup Monday.

Eaton was placed on the paternity list Sunday, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton and his wife welcomed a baby boy into the world Saturday, and the outfielder will take a little time off to spend with the newest addition to his family. The White Sox recalled Michael Ynoa from Triple-A to add some relief pitching depth in the meantime, but Eaton's center field duties should primarily go to Austin Jackson, who is starting and leading off Sunday against the Indians.

Eaton is out of Saturday's lineup against the Indians, the Chicago Tribune's Paul Sullivan reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old outfielder has had a scorching start to the season, slashing .450/.500/.600 through five games, but he gets a much deserved day off Saturday. J.B. Shuck will get the start in right field and hit ninth against righty Cody Anderson.
