Adam Eaton done for season with torn left ACL, per reports
Washington Nationals center fielder Adam Eaton, who was carried off the field Friday, has a torn ACL and will not play again this season.
The team announced earlier Saturday that Eaton had been placed on the disabled list with what was initially diagnosed as a left knee strain.
Fox Sports was first to report that Eaton had a torn ACL.
Eaton suffered the injury in the ninth inning of Friday's 7-5 loss to the New York Mets on a bang-bang play at first base. He hit a roller to the left side of the infield and just barely beat the throw to first. After reaching the bag, he collapsed in a heap as the crowd at Nationals Park fell silent.
