Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said Thursday that Adam Eaton will "probably" get a second opinion on his left elbow from Dr. James Andrews in the coming days.
Eaton was recently pulled off his minor league rehab assignment due to renewed discomfort in his elbow. Towers said an MRI showed fluid around his ulnar collateral ligament, but no new damage was found. As of now, he's expected to rest for 2-3 weeks before restarting his rehab program, but he'll get Andrews' opinion just to be on the safe side. May 23 - 5:27 PM

Adam Eaton - OF - Diamondbacks

An MRI taken Wednesday on Adam Eaton's sore left elbow showed no structural damage, but he won't throw a baseball for 2-3 weeks.

Eaton suffered a sprained UCL in March and has been dealing with renewed discomfort. The outfielder will spend the next 2-3 weeks doing strength and conditioning work before attempting to resume a throwing program. He can be ruled out until at least late June. It's a disappointing setback for one of 2013's biggest fantasy darlings.

Adam Eaton is dealing with renewed soreness in his left elbow and has returned to Phoenix for an examination.

Bad news. Eaton, who was diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in March, began playing in rehab games earlier this month and felt well enough to return to center field last week. However, the pain has returned. The worst-case scenario would be season-ending Tommy John surgery, but it's not clear if that's a consideration yet. But it's obviously a concern.

Adam Eaton - OF - Diamondbacks

Adam Eaton (elbow) played five innings in center field for High-A Visalia on Friday.

It's the first time he's played the field during his rehab assignment, as he had been limited to DH duty. Eaton was scheduled to play the field again on Saturday before being re-evaluated by the Diamondbacks. He should be activated before the end of the month. Manager Kirk Gibson said he's "not really worried about" finding enough playing time for all the members of a deep group of outfielders. "If we have guys, we’ll find places for them to play," the manager added.

Adam Eaton - OF - Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks have shifted Adam Eaton's (elbow) rehab assignment from Triple-A Reno to High-A Visalia.

Eaton is currently being limited to DH duties and the pitchers at Triple-A Reno will hit for the next week, so he had to find a new team to rehab with. Eaton is still a week or so away from manning center field. He's expected to rejoin the D'Backs near the end of May.

Adam Eaton (elbow) threw from 90 feet on Monday.

Eaton will begin a rehab assignment at the beginning of May, first being used in the designated hitter spot. He will then progress to playing center field before aiming to rejoin the D'Backs lineup by the end of the month. Eaton is recovering from a UCL sprain in his left elbow.

Adam Eaton (elbow) resumed throwing on Friday.

Adam Eaton - OF - Diamondbacks

Adam Eaton (elbow) will hit in the batting cage Thursday.

He will hit off a tee and have balls flipped to him at extended spring training. It's the first bit of action for Eaton since he was shut down a little over two weeks ago with a UCL sprain in his left elbow. "I know he's excited to do that," D'Backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He's really champing at the bit." Eaton is still at least two weeks away from throwing a ball and won't be ready to play in major league games until mid-to-late May.

Adam Eaton - OF - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks placed OF Adam Eaton on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 22, with a left elbow sprain.

Eaton will be shut down for at least the next four weeks and is hoping to return in mid-to-late May. The Diamondbacks are expected to use Gerardo Parra in center field until Cody Ross (calf) is able to return.

Adam Eaton - OF - Diamondbacks

Adam Eaton will miss 6-8 weeks with a UCL sprain in his left elbow.

Tough break for one of Rotoworld's favorite sleepers. It's not clear when the injury took place, but Eaton did make an early exit from Monday's game. As of now, he's expected back in mid-to-late May, but ulnar collateral ligament injuries can be tricky. With Cody Ross (calf) questionable for the start of the season, the Diamondbacks could have an outfield of Jason Kubel, Gerardo Parra and A.J. Pollock on Opening Day. Parra is officially worth owning in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.

Adam Eaton - OF - Diamondbacks

Adam Eaton's early exit from Monday's game was not injury related.

Excellent news. Eaton reportedly walked off the field with a trainer, which naturally led to speculation about an apparent injury, but Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson just wanted to give him the rest of the day off following two at-bats.

Adam Eaton left Monday's Cactus League game with an apparent injury.

The exact nature of the injury isn't yet known. Eaton slid head-first into third base on a third inning triple, but he didn't show any signs of injury at the time. The 24-year-old has enjoyed an excellent spring and is gaining momentum as a fantasy sleeper, so hopefully it's nothing serious.

Adam Eaton - OF - Diamondbacks

Adam Eaton went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in the Diamondbacks 11-9 victory over the White Sox Saturday.

Eaton is now hitting .405 this spring, doing nothing to temper the excitement surrounding the 24-year-old heading into the season. The outfielder stole 44 bases between Double-A and Triple-A last season and he's expected to hit atop the Diamondbacks lineup this year. If you had him as a potential sleeper heading into 2013, take note that his strong spring is making it less and less likely he'll be around in the late rounds of your draft.

Adam Eaton - OF - Diamondbacks

Adam Eaton singled and ripped a solo homer in Tuesday's 9-4 Cactus League win over the Athletics.

Eaton's blast came in the fifth inning off of Arnold Leon. The 24-year-old is off to a blazing start this spring, picking up six hits in his first 13 at-bats. He has immense fantasy potential in 2013.
