Washington Nationals center fielder Adam Eaton, after being carried off the field Friday night, was diagnosed with a left knee strain and has been placed on the disabled list, the team announced.
Eaton was carried off the field in the ninth inning of Friday's 7-5 loss to the New York Mets after a bang-bang play at first base. Manager Dusty Baker said Eaton would have an MRI.
Eaton 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 Nats Park fell silent.
