The Chicago White Sox announced Wednesday that outfielder Adam Eaton, a former Miami University RedHawks standout, was designated for assignment 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 week 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 Miami University RedHawks player to get a hit in a World Series.
Engel is hitting .241 in 32 plate appearances this season, his fifth with the White Sox.
