Eaton went 3-for-5 with a double, home run, and three runs scored in the White Sox's win over the Royals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The three-hit effort pushed Eaton's average up to a season-best .277, and his .351 OBP is tops on the team. Eaton is heading into the home stretch of a quietly solid season, as he should finish the year with 15 home runs, 15 steals, and an average around .280.

Eaton went 4-for-5 with a homer, a double, three RBI and a run in Friday's win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton has been seeing the ball well as of late, hitting .379 with a .424 OBP over his past 15 games. The only stat where he had been lacking was the home-run department, something he addressed in Friday's game. Homers used to be harder to come by for Eaton, but his 11 this season are more than he hit in his first three seasons combined.

Eaton is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

It seems a bit odd that the White Sox would sit Eaton following his four-hit night Tuesday, but there has been no word of an injury to this point. Perhaps manager Robin Ventura just thought Eaton was overdue for a day off -- his last came back on July 26 -- and saw Wednesday's matchup against Tommy Milone as unfavorable (Eaton is 0-for-9 lifetime against Milone). Trayce Thompson will take over in center field while Tyler Saladino leads off.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton will start Saturday against the Kansas City Royals after jamming his shoulder Friday, according to the team's official website. Eaton is hitting .267 with nine home runs in 102 games this season.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton left Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals due to a jammed left shoulder, according to CSN Chicago. Eaton is being listed as day-to-day after being injured while attempting a diving catch in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cleveland Indians because of a shoulder injury, according to the Chicago Tribune. Eaton suffered the injury while making a diving catch during Saturday's game, but the team does not believe the issue to be serious and he stands a chance to return for Monday's series opener against the Boston Red Sox.

Eaton went 2-for-4 with a walkoff home run and to RBI in the White Sox's win over the Jays on Wednesday. The 11th-inning home run was Eaton's sixth of the season, which tied his total from the previous three seasons combined. His overall stats are still a bit depressed from his early-season struggles, but he owns a more respectable .276/.352/.449 line, with four home runs and four steals, since the start of June. Many White Sox should be on the trading block this July, but Eaton may not be one of them given that he signed a team-friendly extension before the season.

Eaton went 2-for-4 with his fourth homer, a walk and two runs scored Thursday in Detroit. Eaton's in the midst of a disappointing season, as his average is still lingering at .253, but he's strung together three consecutive multi-hit games now, so he's showing some signs of getting things going. Still, fantasy owners will need to see Eaton run more while continuing to bring up the batting average before he becomes relevant in most mixed leagues.

Eaton was upset by the White Sox's decision to start him on the bench Saturday, the Chicago Tribune reports. Bench coach Mark Parent (who is filling in for manager Robin Ventura this weekend) said the club did not want the slumping Eaton to face Rays starter Chris Archer. Eaton's displeasure could be heard behind closed doors before the game, and he told reporters, "I can't really speak too much on it. I just work here," after the game. Eaton entered late in the game as a sub, but he may continue to cede starts to J.B. Shuck if struggles continue.

Eaton is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. J.B. Shuck is filling in at center field and in the leadoff spot for Eaton, who is likely just getting some rest. Eaton has registered a .256/.293/.436 slash line so far in June, which is decent compared to his earlier performance but a far cry from his excellent 2014 season.
