ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – White Sox leadoff hitter Adam Eaton came out of Chicago’s game at Texas after coming up gimpy while running out a grounder.
The inning-ending play in the fifth Saturday night came right after Eaton collided with Rangers first baseman Prince Fielder on a foul ball.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Eaton’s injury was a result of the collision after Eaton hit a roller up the first-base line. Fielder fielded in foul territory just before Eaton ran into him. The batter’s feet came off the ground, but he didn’t fall down and showed no signs of problems at the time.
Eaton grounded out on the next pitch, and clearly had an issue that kept him from running full speed.
