6 Adam Eaton, LF

Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Eaton, who is on the 15-day disabled list, is expected to begin playing the field on his rehab assignment Friday, MLB.com reports. He has been limited to DH work as he continues to recover from an elbow injury.

Eaton increased his throwing distance to 135 feet on Tuesday.

The Diamondbacks have moved outfielder Adam Eaton's rehab assignment from Triple-A Reno to Class A Visalia.

He hit .111 with four RBI through his first 27 at-bats with Reno as he continues to work his way back from a sprained UCL in his elbow. Eaton is expected to spend a week rehabbing at Class A.

Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Eaton appeared in his eighth consecutive game with Triple-A Reno Friday as a designated hitter.

Eaton finished 0 for 2 with a walk and two strikeouts. He is hitting .111 with four RBI through his first 27 at-bats. Eaton is expected to start in the outfield toward the end of next week, according to the Arizona Republic.

"He's not swinging the bat very well," manager Kirk Gibson said. "Actually I think he's probably pretty bored with the process and frustrated with the process."
