Eaton will start in center field and bat second in the order for Monday's game against the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eaton served as the White Sox's leadoff hitter in 119 of his 154 starts last season, but he'll move down a spot in the order with his new team, as manger Dusty Baker turns to speed merchant Trea Turner to set the table for what projects to be a productive Nationals offense. While Eaton may see his running opportunities decline with the move to the Nationals, he'll have a legitimate chance at cracking the 100-run barrier for the first time in his career while he's nestled between Turner and Bryce Harper in the lineup.
