KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- His sleep pattern is a mess and he can’t throw as well but Adam Eaton continues to hit.
Bothered by a sore shoulder since late July, the White Sox leadoff man has thrived at the plate. Since he initially hurt himself diving in the outfield on July 25, Eaton has hit .333/.406/.472 with 13 extra-base hits, including three home runs, in 166 plate appearances. Eaton said he has altered his throwing mechanics to deal with the soreness. He also has had trouble sleeping because he’s had difficulty finding a comfortable position in which to sleep.
