As they begin preparations for the second half of the season—and with the impending return of star center fielder Mike Trout from the injured list—the Angels added to their outfield depth by signing veteran Adam Eaton on Wednesday.
Eaton, 32, was just released by the White Sox two days ago after struggling offensively for much of the year. In 58 games, he batted .201/.298/.344 with five home runs and two stolen bases.
Eaton will join an outfield that's been besieged by injuries in the first half of the season. In addition to Trout, Dexter Fowler—who the club acquired in a trade with the Cardinals in February—was lost for the season after tearing his ACL in early April.
