6 Adam Eaton, LF

Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Eaton (elbow) is expected to move his rehab assignment from high Class A Visalia to Triple-A Reno Monday. After playing three games for Reno, manager Kirk Gibson said the Diamondbacks will reassess Eaton's status.

Gibson said he won't have trouble finding playing time for his outfielders once Eaton is healthy. Before getting hurt, Eaton was expected to be the team's starting center fielder and leadoff hitter.

"I’m not really worried about it," Gibson told The Arizona Republic. "If we have guys, we’ll find places for them to play. As we bring back some of these guys, we’ll get stronger in areas and it allows guys to go hard and then take a break and it will allow somebody else to go hard. That’s the way it is. The team has a good mentality about that. They play hard when they get in there. That’s what you want. You want to have great strength and depth."

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."
