WASHINGTON -- Adam Eaton made his way into the Nationals' clubhouse Sunday morning on crutches with a boot on his leg and his left knee wrapped. The Nationals had officially diagnosed him with a full ACL tear, a meniscus tear and a high ankle sprain earlier that morning, but Eaton still apologized for sitting before addressing reporters for the first time since the injury -- "I'm pretty short, now really getting down there."
As he lunged toward the first-base bag to try to beat out an infield single in the ninth inning Friday night, Eaton recalled hearing a pop.
