Adam Eaton will have shoulder surgery on Monday but expects to be able to cast a fishing line in three weeks.
The White Sox leadoff man said Sunday he’s set to have arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder, which has bothered him since he injured it diving in late July.
Eaton — who has a .287/.361/.431 slash line with 14 homers in 689 plate appearances — missed several games at the time but has played through the pain and thrived. He said the procedure is a “nerve decompression” to make sure his muscles properly function.

“Just make sure it’s functioning next year,” Eaton said.
