Adam Eaton Homers In First Game Back
7 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (knee) hit a home run in his first Cactus League game of the spring on Saturday. It was an emotional two at-bats for the left fielder, who has been recovering from a torn ACL and meniscus since last April. He'd been playing minor league games, but this was the first time he shared a field with his major league cohorts. Speed is a big component of Eaton's game. He'll be leading off and scoring plenty of runs with guys like Trea Turner, Daniel Murphy and Bryce Harper hitting after him. About the only hiccup to be expected is Eaton learning his new position. 2017 breakout sensation Michael Taylor is now manning center field. This is quite a lineup from top to bottom.
