The Los Angeles Angels announced Wednesday that they signed outfielder Adam Eaton to a Major League contract, two days after he was released by the Chicago White Sox.
The former Miami University RedHawks standout was designated for assignment last Wednesday to make room on their roster for former Loveland High School standout Adam Engel, who was activated from the 10-day injured list.
Eaton, 32, returned from the IL earlier this month after missing time with a hamstring injury. He hit .201 with five homers in 219 plate appearances this season, his 10th in Major League Baseball and first in his second stint with the White Sox.
Eaton also played for the White Sox from 2014 to 2016. He played for the Washington Nationals from 2017 to 2020.
In Oct. 2019, Eaton became the first former MU player to get a hit in a World Series.
Engel is hitting .286 in 47 plate appearances this season, his fifth with the White Sox.
