Eaton (knee) was officially diagnosed with a "full thickness" ACL tear, meniscus tear and a high ankle sprain Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports. He's expected to be out six-to-nine months.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's injury diagnosis suggests that it is highly unlikely that Eaton is able to return at any point during the 2017 season after tearing up his knee during Friday's game against the Mets. General manager Mike Rizzo said that the team likes its in-house options at center field, so it appears that Michael Taylor will serve as Eaton's replacement going forward.
