Eaton went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and two walks in Saturday's loss against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton reached base three times Saturday and plated one of the White Sox's three runs with an RBI double that scored Alex Verdugo in the top of the ninth when the game was already decided. The veteran outfielder has reached base safely in every single game this season and is also carrying a seven-game hitting streak.

Eaton went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 4-3 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton provided all of the White Sox's offense until Yasmani Grandal's walkoff grounder. His third-inning homer was his third of the season and second in as many games. Eaton, who has reached base safely in all nine games, has a three-game hitting streak during which he's knocked in seven runs.

Eaton went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton hit for Andrew Vaughn in the eighth inning and put the White Sox ahead 3-2 with a two-run shot off Royals reliever Jesse Hahn. The 32-year-old Eaton struck out in his 10th-inning at-bat. Through eight games, the right fielder is slashing .258/.361/.452 with two homers, seven RBI, nine runs scored a stolen base in 36 plate appearances. When he's in the lineup, he'll often hit leadoff.

Eaton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Even though the White Sox haven't played since Thursday due to an off day and a rainout, the lefty-hitting Eaton will still take a seat with southpaw Mike Minor on the hill for Kansas City. Leury Garcia picks up the start in right field in Eaton's stead.

Eaton went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton continues to bat leadoff while Tim Anderson (hamstring) remains on the injured list. He is 3-for-13 in three games in the leadoff role. Reaching base safely in all seven of his games so far, the 32-year-old will receive plenty of scoring opportunities at the top of a dominant lineup.

Eaton batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Primary leadoff hitter Tim Anderson (hamstring) remains unavailable, so Eaton took his spot Tuesday. Anderson will remain out Wednesday and is not a lock to return for Thursday's home opener. Eaton's reached base safely in all five games played thus far, going 5-for-20 with four walks, one home run, three RBI and seven runs scored.

Eaton isn't starting Monday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton started each of the first four games of the year and went 4-for-16 with a home run, four runs, three RBI and three walks. Billy Hamilton will take his place in right field Monday, batting ninth.

Eaton went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton continued his incredible Opening Day streak, hitting a home run in all eight Opening Day's where he's started. With the unfortunate injury to Eloy Jimenez, the White Sox will have even more dependence on Eaton to perform in an already thin outfield. The 32-year-old has a career .282/.360/.416 slash line and the White Sox will benefit greatly if he can maintain his consistency.

Eaton batted leadoff and went 1-for-3 with a double in Monday's spring game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Eaton is 5-for-18 with three doubles, two RBI and four runs scored over eight Cactus League contests. The outfielder is not expected to bat leadoff during the regular season, as that role belongs to Tim Anderson. Thus far, Eaton has batted second four times and seventh three times.

Eaton agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal with the White Sox on Tuesday, Chuck Garfien of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
The contract also comes with a team option for a second year at $8.5 million. Eaton, 32, had the best three-year run of his career with the White Sox from 2014 through 2016 before getting traded to the Nationals. He hit .226/.285/.384 and was worth -0.5 fWAR in 41 games last year, but the White Sox are obviously betting on a bounce back. Eaton was worth 2.3 fWAR and slashed .279/.365/.428 with 15 home runs and 15 steals as recently as 2019. He finished this last season on the shelf with a fractured left index finger but that should be healed by now. He should be Chicago's everyday right fielder, but it is unclear where he will slot into the lineup.
