SAN FRANCISCO -- Each day during the West Coast portion of this road trip, Nationals left fielder Adam Eaton has gone out to the outfield, often accompanied by a team trainer, for baseball activities and to further test the bone bruise on his left ankle. Initially, when the team placed him on the disabled list, he was hopeful he could return shortly after the 10 days were complete.
Eaton was eligible to return as early as this past Friday, but he has yet to return to the lineup. And Washington has not revealed much detail about how close he is to returning.
