Eaton has been getting reps at first base in anticipation of possibly being needed to field the position during contests in National League parks, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Jared Walsh (chest) has yet to be activated from the injured list, so the Angels are somewhat shorthanded at first base for this weekend's interleague series against the Dodgers. With the games being played at Dodger Stadium, the team has had both Eaton and Justin Upton take grounders in anticipation of a possible in-game move that requires coverage at first. Eaton has started only once since Jo Adell was promoted to the big leagues Aug. 2 and isn't starting Saturday in Game 2 of the crosstown clash.
