Eaton was moved to the third spot in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers, the Chicago Sun-Times' Daryl Van Schouwen reports.
EDGE Analysis
He has primarily batted leadoff since the All-Star break, but saw time in the two hole before the break. Eaton's power is not quite at the same level it was last year, as he is slugging .408 compared to last season's career-high .431 rate, but he is still tied for fourth on the team with eight home runs. If this change holds, Eaton could be a better source of RBI than runs down the stretch.
