Eaton is out for the remainder of the season with a torn left ACL, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a huge blow to Eaton and the Nationals, considering he was placed on the 10-day DL with what was thought to be a strained knee, but a subsequent MRI confirmed the team's worst fears Saturday. The lefty, traded to Washington this offseason, had been off to a great start on the young season -- hitting .297/.393/.462 with 13 RBI -- yet appears bound for surgery within the coming weeks. Eaton will still carry value in dynasty leagues as he undergoes the long recovery process and opens up a major opportunity for Michael Taylor to take over an everyday role in center field.
