Eaton (ankle) is hoping to return during Washington's upcoming series against the Giants, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It remains to be seen if these plans will come to fruition, as Eaton has to undergo additional examinations with the Nationals' medical staff. However, the team is optimistic that he'll be able to come off the DL soon, as he's been able to increase his level of activity recently and has regularly participated in running drills and batting practice.
