Adam Eaton begins rehab assignment in Triple-A Reno

May 5, 2013, 4:09 AM | Updated: 4:10 am

The Arizona Diamondbacks reinstated Didi Gregorius from the disabled list Saturday, but that wasn’t the only bit of news Kevin Towers and Co. were keeping an eye on regarding the injury front this weekend.

Outfielder Adam Eaton has begun his rehab assignment with the Reno Aces, as he makes his way back from an extended DL stint.

Eaton, who suffered a sprained left elbow injury midway through spring training, is 2-for-10 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in two games with Triple-A Reno. He has yet to play the field, however, serving as the Aces’ DH in both contests.

The 24-year-old is no stranger to minor league baseball. Last season, Eaton swiped 44 bases in separate stints with Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno.

He hit .259 with two home runs and five RBI in 22 games with the D-backs in 2012.
